e-JR Voyager E > Voyager E for Beginner?

Hi,

I fl;ew a Hirobo Shuttle ZX many years ago but sold it and I'm now interested in getting back into helis. I'm interested in getting the JR Voyager E mainly because of its size when compared to the micro helis. Bigger is better?? I've read good and bad about the Voyager, ie. slop in the Head, etc. but for a once again beginner, is this a good starter Helicopter? Cheers.

Bill.

I learned on a Voyager E and dont regret it. It was rock solid and very stable for learning. The only problem is that I didn't have parts readily available unless I went online so I've since gotten a Trex 450SE and more recently, a Logo 10 3D. Another problem with the VE is that you cant really grow with it. If/when you progress to aerobatics or 3D, the Voyager E wont cut it. It's an aging platform which is why you see them for sale. If you can get one cheap, I would recommend it. If not, then go with a Trex600 which is larger but also easier. IMO, the Trex450 was only slightly more squirly than the Voyager due to its size but I grew with the Trex450SE and still fly it regularly.

Learning on a Voyager E

I'm still learning to fly heli's and am very glad I purchased the Voyager E. Parts internet order only where I live but it's been stable enough that I've only badly crashed once. It is so much easier to control then my T-REX I haven't flown it since I got the Voyager.
