Hi / hola!
I've decided to give indoor-electric-RC-Helis a try, but I don't want to buy just any $30 garbage. So of course, I started to do my homework. Knowing you guys are freaks with more than just photons, I figured I'd search LPF for RC heli threads and voila, here I be
I've been eyeballing Walkeras and in particular,
the 4#3B* which is a 4ch mini. Helipal sells it for $149 incl. everything, RTF, new gen. 2.4GHz transmitter, etc.
*EDIT - and the flybar-less successor, the
V100D01...
But seeing as it would be my first, perhaps I should be a bit more reasonable & start off with your
s107 first...
Finally, it's been a while since this thread was updated and perhaps there are newer & better helis on the market, so I thought I'd ask first before placing the order.
EDIT - Someone recommended the
Z008 in the $30 coax arena... any thoughts?
Last but certainly not least:
coax vs. single fixed-pitched vs. single collective pitch (CP): can anyone direct me to a thread that sums up the pros & cons of these blade designs please?
Thx :beer:
EDIT 2.0
Ok... being quite familiar with the delays incurred during the Chinese New Year I made my choices and the
V100D01 is already on it's way
Just to make sure I don't kill it right off the bat I also ordered a 3ch $30 job, but just to keep it interesting I went with a very small "mini"; this one is just 11.5cm (4.5") long but is still a 3CH w/Gyro heli
It's a
Swift Mini-X, also purchased @Helipal. The biggest downside is the limited power supply but then again, it's just to warm before getting around to the V100D01 :8
Not a cheap transaction, but then again, I only got clothes for Xmas so I figured I'd treat myself to something a little more fun :san:
