Default RE: rc car vs rc heli


ORIGINAL: trickle007

If you never flown a heli before go buy a Blade mcx2 coaxial heli. Do not buy a Collective Pitch (CP) heli if you never flown a chopper unless you going to get a good flight sim like phoenix flight or real flight and practise on that untill you can fly a CP on the sim. Helicopers are a blast but you have to put some serious time in to learn them espcially the 3D kind AKA as CP. Another side note is the Coaxial helicopters do not fly well outdoors it must be completly calm outside with no breeze. Thats why i suggested the Blade MCX2 it small and can be flown easily in your living room. If you looking to fly only outdoors I would suggest the blade 120SR or MSR both are fixed pitch helis and can tolerate alot more wind then a Coaxial can. Good Luck
Stupid question, but how did people learn to fly helis before flight sims and fixed pitch and coaxial helicopters?
