Status: offline 		pros and cons on the heli please.
I like the 2.4 and the fact that it is very small.

I am afraid if it will be very fragile, if the motor will burn often, etc.

Status: offline 		get the 4#3b. 2.4 spectrum radio and its very durable for such a small heli, I have crashed many many times and have only broke a canopy so far. other then that I just replaced a motor which you can get 50 packs out of, which isnt to bad considering the motors are only like 4 bucks. I like it very much I find it be a very stable helicopter for such small size and so do others. If you don't have any helicopter flying experience then I would suggest something else, but I'm more then pleased with it.

Status: offline 		the 100 dollar price tag seems like alot and I even thought that when I first got it, but after flying it and seeing what such a small heli like this flies like I was hooked, I ordered 80 dollars worth of spare parts just so I wouldn't be down from flying if I did break anything. Like I said only thing I broke so far is the canopy but thats nothing really a 3 dollar part.

Status: offline 		Walkera No. 4-3 is a good heli. I will recommend you go for the 4-3B, as it has the new 2.4G rc system. Check this video of the No 4-3B

Status: offline 		the 4#3 is in my hands.
I flew it I love it.
Though it is not anywhere compatible to stability of my Belt-CP or the power
but I still like it a lot.
The shame here is that I can't get this thing off the ground without a quick hop.
Then it takes less than 10 seconds for me to touch it down.

Also, on the 2.4ghz 4in3 or something there is one black wire with copper strings hanging out not attached to anything. Is that normal?

Status: offline 		The black wire is the antenna. The length of the antenna is one of the advantages of changing to 2.5gHz. I am not sure what you mean by "copper strings hanging out".

You can not compare it to your Belt-CP since it is a fraction of the size. The smaller the helis are the more unstable they appear to be, so you need to react faster and give smaller inputs since it is very responsive. If you practice a little more you will see that you can take off and hover etc. as long as you want. Remember that this is a FP heli and not a CP so you can not have it on the ground for a long time without it starting to drift. Usually I get off the ground in 3-4 seconds but I don't rush it so that the tail starts to swing around.

Have fun,
Hans.

Status: offline 		hey guys i just ordered a 4#3 (not the 2.4Ghz version) and i just wanted to know if there was anything i should know about before flying it, any set-up tips or stuff like that...what parts are most likey to break and what should i order for spare parts. Please tell me anything you think might help me to get the best out of my heli. I have been flying a bigger FP heli and a belt-cp so im not a noob.

Thanks, Daniel

Status: offline 		I actually love my 4#3, I bought it from a site called, www.ultimaterchobby.com about 3 weeks ago for just over $100 delivered to my house in 3 days! I would suggest if you do get one, to order an extra set of main blades, it does come with a free set, but one extra could not hurt!
