I was thinking of going with a 500 size chopper. With the three batteries you have, how much flying time is that? I don't really want to fly 3D, I like scale ships and making them look real when they fly. I'm thinking about puting a Hughs 500D body on it. I know that will ad weight to it, but scale is what I like. Many years ago, I learned (with NO help) to fly my first and only heli, a Kobe Keko Hughs 300 nitro, before there was tail rotor gyros! Early 80's. Now I have one gas hydro race boat thats running 80 MPH, but I want to get back into Helis. I'm 62 years young!
