just bought this after going to fields and seeing their cheepest helis starting at 205 including tax. they were essentially the same as this one you posted, so i bought this, and it is costing me 135 shipped to my door.

thanks for the help! :tup:

Coaxial is fine if all you want to do is have something flying in your front yard. The problem is there basically idiot proof. I have a little $50 one that I will hand the controls over to someone who’s never flown anything RC. They’ll cruise it around my living room no problem within 5 minutes of picking up the controller.

A testimate to stability inherent in counter rotating blades, but it gets awful boring in a hurry. Plus you’re extremely limited in forward flight speeds and maneuverability.

Theres a Giant one in the hobby shop in webster.

Its a little bird, its like 4 feet long, fuselage is 18 inches wide or more.

gas powered and has an awesome rotor span. I never asked how much it is, but it would so awesome to fly that sucker.

I want to get a little one and just dick around and eventually get into a big nasty one.

that will actually start to sound like a real chopper
