Where as ECO 8 Is the Yang.' Can any body help with this matter YING or YANG.

Hell if your thinking about buying a good electric that can fly just about anywhere why not concider the LOGO 10
Now that is a sweet peice of kit, But if your on a budget I would recomend the Voyager EP, Then if your not up for that the Eco 8.

SHOP around have a look and read, its easy to do.
good luck with your realy dificult choice

Just a piece of advice

Electric heli's are much more expensive to fly than nitro heli's. One thing more, the bigger and the heavier the heli, the less flying time you will get with the same battery capacity. So consider power to weight to battery balance when you buy an electric heli. Its a compromise, if you want stability, go for a heavier one but more expensive to operate. If you want a chaep bird, get a light heli. It will be cheaper to operate but more difficult to fly. Its your choice...

Thanks CARLOU
Hope spelled name right?
My problem being i have cheap and cheerfull now (HONEYBEE2) costs around 30 pounds a month to small for outside not enough control inside, to much ground effect. my thinking get a (proper Heli) if there is such a thing. Trex is maybe my next step. Both worlds still practise indoor but also maybe fly more stable out side weather permitting. Rather than full 30 electric which i do agree with yourself @ £150 li po 20 mins is not a long investment, but maybe TREX will give me build/stable qaulity that my bee2 almost has??????

Keep open mind.chill

Thanks
For reply DAZ of (DJ Flapper ) Styley. I must admit your nominees are both comendable but here in uk we have small back yards .so a mid electric such as trex maybe my option. would love to go full 30 but area not funds restrict. also weather? I could try TREX Then maybe Voyager as proper heli as this reads and looks alot better than most

Have you looked at the eolo electric heli, it is bigger than Picolo and others but smaller than the others I suggested earlier.
It is a very capable heli and if this is the size that you are after then thats the one I would go for, If you contact midlands Helicopters websight they have good information about this heli. Its manufacturer is reputable. Here's the link to there websight. cracking heli I have a clip of one flying will try and upload it. Anyway here you go
