If you get a nitro heli then make sure to shop around and get a deal...there are quite a few out there. Getting a deal package is the better route, you have to get things like engine and gyro and so on...and a deal will save a bit of cash.

Make of heli? there are quite a few out there, the most important thing is the parts...cost and availability of...The Raptor series and popular helis...nice and tough...Century make some nice helis too..no nonsense cheap machines that fly good.

I have a Hirobo Sceadu 30 which is a fine heli...I usually fly a Petrol engined Predator which is a Century product..the Sceadu is a nice 'play' heli.

There is a wealth of experience on this site with Nitro helis, I really must say that you wont get a better deal than getting a typical 30 size nitro heli WITH decent gear...like a good radio for a start.

Have you got a simulator?
