Default Looking for help

I gave up my shooting hobby to get into flying RC heli's, at first I thought it would be cheaper then shooting. Guess not. I am looking for someone in the Brooksville, FL area to help me out. I kinda jumped into this hobby a bit quick. I bought a Trex 500 clone and a new Align CObra fuselage thinking the fuselage would just fit right on the trex frame, wrong. It seems I have to take apart the whole heli and rebuilt it using the parts from the new fuselage and set it up to fly at the same time. I am not looking for someone to do it for me but someone who can help me complete this task so i can learn to do it by myself. I also bought a trex 450 so that I could learn how to fly these types of heli's while I was building my cobra but when it arrived it was in peices and the guy throw in a bunch of spare parts so now im really confused. So if anyone out there in the Brooksville Spring hill, FL area wants to take some time to teach me about building, binding and flying it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Dave

Even though it seems like a club is all about FW aircraft it's still a good idea to email them; there could be a few heli pilots too.

Dave get a Blade MCPX.  $179.00

Keep it over grass and it will take alot of crashes and keep on ticking.

Mastery of the MCPX and the bigger birds are a piece of cake.

Might be worth the drive to TORCHS (The Orlando Radio Control Heli Society), they are a dedicated heli club right outside of Orlando, I can get you some contact info if you need.

AugerDawger,

i was going to buy one of those but I saw this trex450 in a jet bell ranger fuselage that said RTF, will I bought it for $200 and when it arrived he took it apart for shipping and to be nice he trew in a bunch of spare parts which really confused me now with all these different parts. Im working on it though...
Thanks
