Default 4#3B should I buy one, or.

Hello folks, its been a while since I've logged on... Now that things are starting to calm down a bit here (my 2nd son was born last May) I'm finding some time to get back into helis again. I recently bought the little blade mCX and have decided its time to step it up a notch with a more capable micro indoor flyer. I'm thinking a 4#3B from Ehibro, My question is will there be much of a difference in speed and fight capability to make it worth buying the FP model? I'd say I'm a bit above the beginner stage, I log a fair amount of time on G3.5 but I still struggle a bit with my old Blade CP. So, is the 4#3B a good fit or should I look elsewhere for indoor fun?

Hey man I've had a 4-3B for about 6 months and it is an AWESOME HELICOPTER... not quite a beginner as it's sensitive but if you've got some time on the sim you should be okay flying it... of course it's nothing like the mcx since it's not a co axal but once you get the hang of it this is an AMAZING helicopter it's very very fun flying! I love mine I fly it everyday in the living room

Yes I too agree... The 4#3B is an excellent little heli... There is also a new guy selling walkera products locally out of Pennsylvania. Have a look here- http://clubheli.com/Walkera-43B-Brus...elicopter.aspx

Well, I just bit the bullet and pulled the trigger on a 4#3B v2 and Lama#1 2.4 Ghz combo package deal from Ehirobo. The package was 149.00 and shipping to the US was 43.00....I'm a little nervous spending that much with a company I've never done business with, but I've had good luck with most all other Asian mail order companies so what the heck! I figured I might as well add the Lama2 considering it was only 40 bucks more....

Normally you have to specify which mode you want. Usually there will be a small drop-down box with the two options. Left hand throttle (mode2) is the one used in US.

Regards,
Hans.

Just a quick note to say my helis arrived in good shape and in a timely fashion. Package from ehirbro was well marked, and was not crushed or damaged. I'm very satisifed with the service and price!
