Any bigger heli, whether electric or nitro will be easier to fly because its easier to see, and more stable.

In no particular order the Raptor Titan, EVO 50, JR Vibe 50, and the Trex 600n are all good, nitro powered helis.

Status: offline 		Alrighty, here we go. A good Nitro heli.... Hmm Well I went ahead couple months ago and ordered a Black Hawk 500 se for undeer 600 dollars 2.4 and all.
Which I ordered from ka planes. Since its out of stock they have the black hawk 500 gp http://www.ka-planes.com/inc/sdetail/9538 for 469.99.
It's a very good helicopter. I am currently using dx6i on it. I have the expo lowered and flies like a trainer. Kindof flies like a coax. Flies great
downside is when u run it rich, run time is less then 5 min. Once you've done breaking in the engine, flight time is double. I enjoy mine, very
easy to fly. Even with stock radio. It include a 2.4 programable radio. I also have the black hawk 450 which is electric and flies awsome.
Check out www.ka-planes.com. They fly'em and tweak'em their helicopter before they send it. Here is some pics of it. Like I said, its easy
and fun in the same time to fly her. And damn shes LOUD. Oh and parts, alot of places have parts for helipro black hawk 500 gp. You could
also turn away from gp and get the brushless helipro black hawk 500. Here is some pics of mine. Black hawk 450 ep and black hawk 500 gp pro se pro pic's.

Status: offline 		Well it comes with a spectrum like radio. 2.4 ghz. Works great what I've heard. Nobody wont interfer no matter what channel they are in. Doesn't twitch. Electronic
is decent but price is low though. I am using my dx6i spectrum with stock servos and all. Flies great. I am starting to get all my helicopter setup so I can have
just one remote for all. Dx6i go for under 175. Since its a car engine. 15-20 u'll be just fine. You can update it little by little. But it flyies great on stock and
you can do aerobatic on it, just not 3d. Or who knows maybe you can add a os18 cr w/e it is called and setup ur throws and mixing. But I'm happy with hit,
I'm a very happy camper with my helicopters. Oh like i said car fuel 15-20 u'll be ok. Maybe 30 percent would be better once its fully broken in. Radio is fully
programible but its limited. To program it theres no lcd on that radio yet you can use ur pc to program it. But for someone to learn, thats all they need. Which
come rtf. But ofcourse you need extra help either someone professional or online guidelines how to run ur engine, and for break in. Tracking the blade wasn't
a problem. It did came with instruction. If you want to learn nitro go for this cheap one. Hey its a 2.4 radio, it wont glitch if it does, send it back. Ka planes helped
me alot on these helipro. It came out great, just i keep on crashing at first. Flies great,we I actually don't fly my nitro theres to much trees but I do hover a bit and
do some sideway and forward flight. But its limited here.
