Default 1st Nitro Heli

Hi,
I own 2 planes, and now I want to go with Helis, nitro one. I was wondering which is best to "learn". Well I have a small idea since I'm practicing on my Real flight 3.5 but I'd like some advice. I've been told to get at least a .50, Hirobo or raptor brand. I would need the Heli kit, engine and servos. I have a JR Tx 6102.

Would it be better if I'd use a electric one to begin?

Any advice please?

Pierre

Either one of the Raptor 50s or Hirobo 50s are great.

I would need the Heli kit, engine and servos. I have a JR Tx 6102.

You are also going to need a gyro, engine starter extension, a little patience, a spare crash kit, and building materials.

Electrics are great, but I have always loved the sound of nitro, the performance of nitro, the smell of nitro, pretty much everything about nitro except for the cost. The larger nitro will also be more stable than a T-rex 450, Mini Titan, or MX450.

Good Luck and have fun,
Alex

Raptor or EVO 50 you will be very happy with either one of them.

A gy401 gyro/9254 combo and an OS 50 hyper engine and some decent servos.

Thanks for your comments, I really think I'll go with one of those. You confirm what most of my club members told me.

good day!
