    Hey and welcome
    First pic looks like a raptor 30, which are very good for beginners. Many members would have learnt on these. But if you could list a spec of the servos , gyro, radio gear etc... It would give us more info and we'd be able to give you more advice.
    id also recommend that you meet up with some more experianced flyers if you can so they can give the Heli a going over before you even consider starting it up.
    As for the second Heli, I'm affraid I haven't got a clue.

      Hey.

      Hello and welcome to the forum.

      As above first picture is a Raptor 30 or 50 even.

      Second heli looks like a Century Hawk 30 to me, or even a Century Falcon 46SE if it has a 50 class engine in it and looking at the purple parts.
      Nope on seconds thoughts it's a Hawk 30 as it has plastic lower side frames.

      Sold in the UK by www.CenturyUK.com I think still.
      Reason I know is because I was sponsored by CenturyUS/UK for over 10 years and so flew this make of model.

          Second one is definitely a century, but its not the hawk pro (30) or the hawk 50 as the front tray isnt correct for those models.

          The century range share a lot of parts.

            The century range are pretty good basic beginners helis ( have a hawk 30, which was great to get into forward flight).

            If I had to 'do it all again', id probably have gone with a trex600n if going nitro, but at the time I was too scared to invest that much in an airframe....

                    the first one is a raptor 30/50

                    the second one is a century hawk

                    both are good to learn on but spares are easier to get for the raptor
