I have been lurking in this forum for a few weeks and I am thinking about trying my luck with helis
I have ordered the Aeropro sim to see if I am really interested
My experience in rc consist of 12 yrs flying airplanes ,mostly giant scale now
I have noticed that there seems to be a favorite recommendation toward the
Hawk sport to start so that is what I plan to start with.
A couple of questions though

1) I am using the Futaba 9ZAW , it has the ratchet on throttle , will this matter?

2) what kind of learning curve should there be considering I already fly airplanes ( I know that is a loaded question )
I am fairly proficent at flying

3) I don't mind spending the $$ to get the "right" equipment , after spending 3500-4000 per ship on the airplanes I'm use to spending green backs on the hobby ( even though the wife still dosent see it my way )[]
I perfer to buy the "better quality" stuff the first time around so good advice will be appreciated
TIA
