im about to buy my first micro heli TIPS?

hello
is there anything i need to know about flying a micro heli i have already read these forums and website pages and i know what damage a full scale one can do but thats full scale.

im interested in the humble bee/honeybee (sold where i am as the twister)i will be getting enough money soon around 4 months (i have to work hard like cutting lawns cuz im only 12)

is there anytihng you think i should know for my first hovers or trying to get off the ground?

thanks all help tips wanted

hello its me again for anyone that has bought the humblebee/honeybee/twister (there all the same arent they it could just be honeybee and twister )
anyway it comes RTF with charger,batt',heli,controll,sim cable,and DVD
is the DVD like a video to get you started or is it to go on your PC and use as your flight sim its got me
anyway if thats just a video what flight sim would you recommend for the begginer

thanks again people

What I recommend is probably not what you want to hear but I think that you should get a good sim first and think about a heli later because if you have not got a source of constant income heli's can be expensive when it comes to repairing a crash and you will crash where as with a sim you only have to reset the sim to fly again.By a good sim I mean either Great Planes G3 or you could get Ikarus aero flight deluxe you can get usb controllers for each that look and act like a radio infact they are made by futaba it comes as a complete set up with the sim and controller but they will cost you around $200.00.This is not something that you are going to be able to pick up right away I spent over three months on the sim before I even purchased a heli,I started with great planes G2 the older version and after my sim time I was able to hover the first time with no problems.Get a sim work on it and save your money up to get a good heli not some cheap heli that will be more trouble than it is worth.Cheap RTF heli's are not as good a deal as most people think because there is really no heli that will fly right out of the box it just does not happen.Well as I said this is just what I would do and this way you can learn the right way and not cost your self more money than you have right now.

thanks for advice i just wanna start flying soon even if it is not out of a box or on a pc screen

I agree with MOE also. It is much better crashing a computer sim a few thousand times then it would be to crash a real one once. Especially if you don't have cash for repairs handy. When you are ready to buy though I would recommend buying a better quality heli. Cheap heli's fly like cheap heli's. Many flyers would disagree with me here, but if you can get a heli with collective pitch like the CP Blade by Eflite you would be problably be more happy.( Especially if you've mastered a good quality simualtor) There is more to break in a horrible crash, but its flight handling is quite good. Eventually when you get quite good, you can upgrade it to fly 3D when you're ready. The basic CP Blade costs $219.00.

You should also buy a set of training landing gear, and a crash kit. (about $20)

Good luck in what ever you decide!

Lol i'm only yong 2. I think u should get training gear. So if u have a rogh landing itll reduce the dmg.

Hi.

If I was you I wouldn't buy a Dragonfly. The electronics are apparently bad and it will end up being harder to fly (My friend just crashed his and it fell apart)

I've just bought an Esky Honey Bee. Haven't flown it yet because I haven't managed to get the controller working with the simulator.

I suggest you go with the Honey Bee (Or Twister) You can get some cheap deals on EBay.
