walkera as a first heli

[ChrisB]

Twister Medivac type helis are superb for indoor and calm outdoor use

They are strong,cheap and can do quite a bit


Highly recommended,,i got my other half one for last Xmas,,its never been broken and flies really well, and i can think of nothing better than chasing Squirrels around the garden with it

The funny thing is that they think they are safe if they run up a tree...


WRONG

I prefer patrolling for CATS or just laying in wait for one and then when the times right, wack with the throttle and race it to the fence. I love it and they are so cheap to repair!

Worth noting that the Revo 950 pack just fit's. My medevac now goes like billieo ,giving 2-3 mins extra flight time and has help with stability outside. If you want an extra pack the revo is great value and well worth a look. Aurorra do do a 750 pack with the correct connector's fitted but i haven't tryed one but should also be a good replacement for the standard battery and a £5 cheaper.

heheh...nice to see another person buying a walkera as first helicopter. I had a look at t-rex and esky for first helo's but the price and the cost after a smash (inevitable as a noob flyer) was a little off putting. So walkera 60 was choice....not a wise one but based on monetary funds available. as per usual, cheap means not high quality and the tail servo came with a loose wire inside which i tried to get the people i bought i from to replace......had to get it off ebay instead...surprise surprise....

now the new tail servo just buzzes when the power is connected and gets VERY hot ..not sure what the prob is...? its attached to the gyro.....(still learning about RC helis but everything is a learning curve)
