Thanks for the info. In response the name was stolen kinda, my friend had a mustang notchback, and his name was onesillynotch, I am building a civic hatchback so I went with onesillyhatch, haha.
I'm kinda thick headed and don't want to fus with 4 channel non cp heli's. I understand the difficulty in learning and do not plan on rushing, I expect to crash and break stuff that's why I only want to pay 200 bucks or less. My real concern is learning heli's, how to adjust them to make them run correctly, I have enough experience to know all rc things need to be tinkered with to run best. I live at forums, and read till my eyes start bleeding haha.
Turbo read around people have swapped blades and parts from various heli's. I think I read something about switching the servo around and the aluminum swash fits...not sure but check it out.
Professor I've broke down and went to ebay, there is supposedly a seller out of Indiana for the HB2 for 159, at least this way the people are in america and you can run the authorities all over them if something goes wrong. I know stock components stink on almost all rtr's but they usually work pretty well or well enough to learn and upgrade as you go but they give a strong starting point and don't break the bank, this way you can save money for blades and stuff when you break them. Everyone says go spend all your money on a radio, I say why??? noone adds that part? I've run crap radio's and good radio's and they all did the same thing, but with heli's you just don't want your signal to be lost, thats the only thing I can think of and I read the optic 6 can cut out in flight.... hmmm 28 dollar radio or 150 dollar radio that does the same??? (I sound like a jerk here, I really didn't mean to, I'm just sarcastic, I don't mean to be mean though, sorry if I come off the wrong way you can't show expressions when typing) I think the gyro is the thing that you want to invest in, that will make flying life way easier, at least I think sooo... but I'm a newbie,haha.
Ooops, the walkera comes with foam blades right? I'm hesitant about these, I think I trust the balsa much better on the esky, I want something weak so the rest of my copter survives by not that weak...Another reason I'm leaning toward the esky is the lithium polymer not the NIMH, with a crappy charger, thanks for that imput. Don't worry I'll top your broken part list.
Thanks soo much for the responses, keep them coming, I'm about to buy tonight, haha, my kitchen will never look the same.
