I am of course a newbie here and am completely overwhelmed with all this info.

I want to buy a RC heli and I cant decide which one to buy.

Should I spend the extra money on the 36 or should i start with the 22e or something else?

I had a little SYMA dragonfly 2-channel heli and it was a blast to fly indoors, but my friend wrecked it and now i want to get something better.

I want to upgrade to something that i will be happy with for awhile.

Any suugestions??

Does anyone know where i can find basics like what all these terms mean? like anatomy of these birds?


Thanks!!!!

If you are really unlucky you will be in for a better radio too.
So be prepared to double/triple the initial price of the heli to get it capable of real flight.
I can't comment on the 22e as I have never even seen one. Hopefully someone who owns one can give you their opinion.

I just need to hear from a 22e owner i guess

I am also considering a Honeybee CP2

didnt think this would be that hard of a decision.

Status: offline 		Well after all the research, ive decided on a E-flite Honeybee CP2. Seems it may be the easiest to learn on and keep around for awhile. If this hobby works out I will buy a #36 or a TRex around summertime.

thanks for the input!

Status: offline 		I have both a 22E and a 22D... The 22E is pretty tough to fly.. It has lots of power and is aimed at the intermediate flyers. It can get away from you pretty quick.. I like my 22E but the only drawback is that it is pretty fragile. I'm not sure of your experience level. My 22D is a pretty good flyer and is much more forgiving on the crash and hard landing arena.. That thing really takes a beating (I'm a newbie too) and keeps coming back for more... Both helis need adjustment out of the box...I would suggest reading the 22E lets talk thread..theres some good info there..
