    Hello everyone!
    I've been looking at rc heli's for a little while and after reading some posts on this forum i've decided to give it a go! Most peoples choice seems to be the CX2 and Phoenix to start with which sounds good to me. Only thing is, does anyone know where I can buy the two together? Or even better a shop near hemel hempstead, hertfordshire? Worth a try lol.
    Thanks!
    Tom.

          Hi
          If you think that's expensive find another hobby coz this one will keep
          you skint! Be under no illusion this hobby is expensive but rewarding.

            I suppose Phoenix you only buy once and it'l last forever. Shame, I used to have a Futaba controller from my old electric glider, can't find it though! I'll get a TX with the CX2 which will last a little while though.
            Is the Blade suitable for a room 12'x18' ?

                        Another question! lol, does the cx come with a battery charger? I also have a Pro Peak 2500 from something else, would that be a good charger for the batteries that the cx uses?

                            Hi Tom,

                            i'm a newbie too, well to heli's and this great forum!

                            I'm located in Tring, just up the road from you and I recently purchased the CX2. Great little beginner heli!

                            I ordered mine from RCPitstop but if you want to buy from a shop then there is one in Leighton Buzzard called, Selections Hardware and Model Shop

                            They are in the high street and they stock spares for the CX2 aswell!

                            Hope that helps..

                            Matt
