Status: offline 		Ok i bought a raptor 50 from someone, has tons on aluminum on it. I flew it my first day, no problem. I learned to hoover very well, i could do landings and even nosed in a little, i wasnt able to turn because i had very heacvy training gears on.
Second day the training gear, which i tought would save my a$$ broke in the air inbalencing the heli. Im now stuck with a heli 1/4 the size i origionally had it. I have estimated 150 in damages. I saw mini electrics for that price, so i figure ill go there and learn n a electric.

I saw the Picclo pro, does anyone have any input on that, i planned on getting it with lipos and brushles motor with the 240 gyro. Cost 600 rtf minus tx. I have tx so i don care.

I also saw picclo fun. Thats heli looks nice and cheap, i need a stable heli, that can hoover in one spot and wont drift. I want to have fun not fight the heli.

I hear the dragonfly is a good micro.

Please if you have any of these helis tell me what you think of them, if you have any others that you would recomend. Please let me know. I plan on making a purches in a week or 2.

PLEASE HELP

Status: offline 		You can't go wrong with Either a Piccolo Pro, a Hornet, or a Zoom/Shogun if you are looking to spend $600+. Have you looked at the Hummingbird? IMO it is better than a Jabo/Dragonfly(they are the same) which I started out with.

Status: offline 		Have you flown one personally, All i want is a heli i can crash and will fly again. I have done the lmh and dint like those, i have rap 50, 2 scared to fly now and i want a small electric which is stable enough outside which i can learn to fly on. I plan on buying picclo pro as my 3d heli once i learn to fly well. If it is a very durrable easy to fix heli then i will start with picclo pro, my guess is fp is easyer to repair, so ill crash that and get somthing cp later. What do you think, humming bird stable, or is jabo GWS dragonfly or any other better?

Status: offline 		I have a Hummingbird Elite FP which is VERY durable. I started out with a Dragonfly/Jabo (Same design) and it was durable, but not as stable as my HB. You would want to start with the HB Elite FP, that way when you ready you can upgrade it with a CP or CCPM head to get into 3D flight. From What I have seen the Piccolo Pro and Hornet are great Helis, just a little more Pricey.

Status: offline 		The Dragonfly, Jabo, AeroHawk, E-sky, and Piccolo Fun are about the same in flight characteristics as the V2 and V3 Hummingbirds. I owned a Dragonfly before my Hummingbird, and I must say It would have been easier to learn initially with the HB because it is alot more stable. If you already have the RX/TX why get RTF... Just get some micro servos and a kit-heli. It would be alot cheaper.
