Default Re: Cheap first heli?

While I agree that the counter rotating rotor helies are good for the extreme basics of flight, you will outgrow it quickly and the entire investment will be lost when you upgrade to a more real heli.

So short term, the cheapo heli is just that, cheapest, but as you throw out the cheap stuff to upgrade later it is the most expensive route in the long run.

As far as which heli is the best of the low cost micros.....
I can't help much since I have not actually owned them.
But I would recommend starting out with a Collective pitch heli with a real heli radio that can still be used as your flet of helies grows.
