Here is my story of Electrics
Some 6 yrs ago i started with a shuttle Z nitro
crashed at least X6 at $125 each crash
of course learning on own in driveway
gave up but did get HELIFEVER !!!!!
last Xmas I recieved an Ikarus piccolo fun complete FP kit
i crashed about 75 times at least 10+ hard crashes
then i had to send off the piccoboard for repair the gyro $40
in the 6 crashes with the shuttle my gyro was spent
in those same crashes with the piccolo fun bought blades and some landing gear struts
about $25
i have spent all my money on upgrades believe me it's not cheaper with electric every upgrade = better flying heli
i learned to fly in my kitchen last winter Well to Hover
more than i ever got out of the the shuttle
with the piccolo after a crash if you can find all the parts
they pop back together maybe some CA glue
i have 4 piccolo kits now 1 Moth Orion setup , 1 Fun Brushless setup, 1 Cobra scale Brushless setup the one in pic by screenname and 1 Pro with all the Mods
most of my Heli's are in the photo section
I'm hooked i have HELIFEVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!
with the help of the Ikarus BB i learned on my own
i get 12-20+ minute flights with these new Li-Poly batteries
Li-Poly's = Rock-N-Roll
HELIFEVER RULES !!!!
keep it in the air
