Status: offline 		Which FP would be better for a beginner? i assume the 4g1b because its larger and should be more stable? there also the 1#B, but its collective pitch so i think it would probably be out of my depth.

Where do you think you will be flying?

The 4#3B is great for indoor flying as its small and light. Its also farily tough however any wind at all and you need to fight it to fly it.

The 4G1B is better for outdoor flying and is farily robust. The skids are the main problem at the moment as they break when you are learning. However this is due to be fixed in the next few weeks by the adapter for Superskids.

I would not recommend going straight to a CP heli as it will cost you $$ each time you crash and you will get frustrated by the time that you are out of the air.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Cheers

I agree, but fact is that many people will give up and are better served with a coax. The 4#3b is not the best for completely new beginners but more for people how have outgrown their coax. The 4g1b in the hands of a completely new pilot would probably not last more than a few seconds. So it really depends on ambition, where you want to fly and experience.

But many grow bored of coaxes real fast also... I lasted maybe 2 weeks before I got bored with my esky lama.

the 4#3b is good for a beginner in a sense that you will get a lot of flying time without ever having to leave your home. But the 4g1b is more stable and quite a bit easier to fly... hmmm, come to think of it, 4g1b isn't really too bad flying in the living room either.
