    Hi all!

    I thought I would introduce my self to the forum Ive just started with heli's so im very new to it all, its been a bit of a roller coaster ride for me, I started with a small mini £25 heli and got the bug straight away! Then it was a Twister hawk which I still love and now Im about to get a second hand kyosho concept 32vr!!
    Now I dont know a lot about this machine so if you could give me a few pointers that would be great.

    Many thanks

      Hi welcome to a great forum and a great hobby,
      Id think twice about the kosho concept as your 1st heli because it is a very old model and you will strugle to get parts,
      The best thing you could do is find your local club and visit them, See what they are flying and advise you to get,
      you should also seriously consider the phoenix sim and a decent tx maybe some thing 2.4g if your budget can stretch that far

          Join a local club.

          Watch, learn & maybe someone will have a heli for sale.

            There are in fact a few kyosho concept 30's that live mainly in the back of vans up at our flying field. I did see one fly recently!

              welcome you should be able to pick up a raptor 30v2 all up ready to fly for less than £400. parts are easy to come by, its most likely that there will be people flying raptors at your local club, and they will serve you well until you are getting to a stage where you need more power and agility. Do some more research, and save a few more pennies as you WILL crash a lot when you start out, and if you cant get the parts easily and quickly, it will very quickly dishearten you.
