| I have a Corona which is the electric version and it is an awesome heli! The most durable one out there. I've crashed it many times, 50 foot falls, etc. Most of the time, I just straighten the main blades and take off again. In almost two years of flying it, I've spent a whopping $20 in repairs. I would go electric from the start. It flies 12-15 minutes on NIMH which are cheap. And with the durability of the heli, crashing isn't a worry anymore and there is very little down time. Great for learning. As for gas, maybe someone else can comment on it. I know there is a tail belt upgrade but you'll only need that when you get more advanced. It flies fine stock. I'm guessing you don't see them on the classifieds because a Corona isn't the cheapest heli to start with and most people are looking for performance machines. It seems more people are going the route of starting with a Trex. I've owned three Trexes from 450X to SE and I can say they are NO substitute for the Corona. Trexes break at the smallest thing. |
