| Re: Which helicopter?
Good luck on the 50. Have not had the Caliber experience, but plenty on Raptors. All I can say about the 50, is get ready for a totally new experience. , and also, be careful. Get with a very experienced nitro pilot. In comparison to a 30 size, the 50 has awsumn power, and will require some getting used to. After flying 30's, the first time I fired up a 50, I swear, I could feel the ground shake. Then, I got the 60, and same thing, quite a jump from one size to the other. If you have been flying electrics, do get some help. You will save many dollars in the long run. Crash costs on nitro's can get out of hand, if you let em. Don't be bashful about training gear either. Until you can trim it out perfect and bring it into a 3 or 4 foot hover, without being nervous, don't even think of taking off the wheels. I'm past the training gear stage now, but it took almost a year to be really at ease. Later, Jimco |
