Green horn... (brand new newbie)

[M0nkeyj1m]

Ok, I know nothing... and I mean nothing, especially about RC piloting. So, mi cards are on't table.

I'm lookin to purchase myself something to smash up, I mean fly...,fly definately fly..

Anyhowz, been pokin around here for a while, at least an hour or so and come to the conclusion (under the influence of Alcohol) that I'm gonna get me a HoneyBee King 2...............or maybe a Blade CX2

Any opinions, experiences or suggestions will be gratefully received; by the way..... I know nothing.

I am a blank canvas; so lob some paint at me and hopefully the painting we create, will not be that of an horrific crash scene but something that ressembles a pilot, his chose bird (not the feathered ones or un-feathered for that matter) hovering in the distance.

Anyway, Hi folks... great site.

Sounds oh so silly but very true..

Best thing you can do is find a local club and get some advice for your future "proper" helicopter purchase, there will be one, oh yes, its going to cost you a fair bit but the excitement, fear, shaking like a dog having a s**t after your first solo hover with a big bird is worth every penny

GO FOR IT!
