hi i am new

hey all i am kinda a newbie at flying helicopters i got my first one 1 or 2 yrs ago and it was ok but i have alot of trouble flying it and the 2nd time i flew it it propeller broke and now i lost its charger so i need a new one.

i saw some videos of people flying some that looked like blackhawk helicopters on youtube i really like but have no clue where to get them from.

i really need advice on what chopper i should get i want somethings thats four channel,and something not real expensive or hard to fly but that dosent get boring, i really am into military helicopters and would like to get a blackhawk body on what ever i get .

can you swap bodies on rc choppers ? like make it look like a apache or something?

Re: hi i am new

Hi there,

Welcome

You'll find some info about contra rotating blackhawk bodied begginers machines here... http://www.modelhelicopters.co.uk/ac..._Electric.html

They are about halfway down the page. There is a camo and a CostGuard version and they would be suitable to learn to fly on.

To answer your other question, it is possible to get bodies for rc helis to resemble most of the real world helis howerver the best selection is for the 50 sized nitro machines (or a T-Rex 600 electric would take one). The downside is that they are expensive and break easily (so not for beginners). Also, its not easy to "swap bodies" because there is a fair bit of work in getting the heli mechanics in one body, never mind moving them from body to body as the whim takes you.

Hope this helps... Azzy

Re: hi i am new

Hi again.

I dont think they make bodies for the blade CP because its a small machine and there arent many bodies made for smaller machines. The smallest bodies Ive seen are for the T-Rex / zoom size machine.

You'll find bodies if you look around on the web link I gave you.

Take care.... Azzy
