Re: What Hirobo do I have?

Probably from the mid 80's...I was watching a clip the other night on YouTube of a GMP Cricket...this heli was quite small and had fixed pitch...no collective in those days! well not for that particular design...I am sure it got upgraded.

Go the simulator route...this will give you a good foundation...theres no urgent reason to crash a model heli...I was about 10 mnths using a sim...a very basic one at that...until I had enough cash to buy my first heli...I bought a good radio at the same time...wanted it to last.

I was hovering the real model and after 5 minutes was off around the field...nice and carefully. I was hooked!
