| I started out with a coaxial like the blade cx2. I've been flying for a while now, and I'm still considering getting the blade CX2 because, knowing now what I wish I knew then, I think it is the very best coaxial, RTF helicopter out there, and those are still a blast to fly in the house.
After my first coaxial heli, I went straight to a TRex 450 se. My neighbor had one of those collective pitch, tail motor, type helis, and it was very difficult to fly right.
If I was to give any advice on the progression of helicopter flying, with budget in mind, I would go stright for a good quality, precision helicoper. I would NOT waste my time and effort on a flimsy, cheap, helicopter.
I've had great experiences with my trex 450 se. The main thing is to buy a heli which is a kit, or almost ready to fly, put it together yourself, or with some help, then go from there.
In this hobby, you can buy an inexpensive helicopter, which I did later, and find that you'll save money, time, and frustratio by buying a decent rig from the get go, and not starting out with a so called 'inexpensive' helicopter. The cheap ones will end up costing you in the long run just to make it fly right. Don't listen to the folks who try to tell you otherwise.
In this hobby, you get what you pay for. |
