Which is the right one???

I'm a long time electric helicopter "pilot" and now want to move on to a gas powered helicopter. Just recently, I have gained the pleasure of a rather large backyard and with no one to disturb. I’m not up to 3D and other “stressing” manoeuvres. I just love to fly helicopters. A Vario Benzin Trainer would certainly be my dream, but is this the right thing to do coming from a 08-15 electric helicopter? I would appreciate you advice and recommendation.

i fly both gas and electric and my venture 30 cp is a lot easier to fly than the electric its bigger and thats the difference gas also more stable and wind resistant again because its bigger the only thing i hate is my flying field is only 30 foot by 30 foot and i have to be on my game in order to fly but **** i wouldn't have it any other way so if you want to move up move up then i say DO IT gas is a BLAST !!

OH yea did i mention JR Venture cp 30 EXCELLENT Heli

Gas or Nitro? Nitro is glo fuel....gas is petrol? isnt it?

If you are interested in gas then you might want to try looking at Centurys 'Predator' heli.....one thousand bucks US should see you with heli AND engine....though you will need to supply servos, gyro etc etc.

If you can handle a small heli....with confidence then a large heli should be quite easy.....but as its bigger then the potential for damage/danger, increases.

I would love a Gas heli, Nitro is stupid expensive, gas is cheaper and the flying times can be longer......I am sure going to go for a Predator when I get some spare cash someday.

See if there is a abundance of parts available as you don't want to get something that may keep you down and waiting for replacement parts.
