Lift, I went and looked at the upgrades for the conversion thanks, but I think that I'll pass and stick with the Venture 30 until I'm ready to move up to a 60, as I already have a buyer for my Venture when I'm ready to move up.

Flmgrp, I agree with you to a point. If I had to do it all over again I would probably have went with a 50 size. But then that would have been a problem when I wanted to buy a 60, because I would hate to spend that kinda money on such a little move(50-60).

I think the decision rest fully on your resources, if you have no one to help you fly, your better off with a 30. However if you are like me and have a heli expert at your side, you could probably move up to a 50. I dont think a 60 would be a good choice for a 1st timer because it is simply to intimidating, at 1st the little 30 was pretty intimidating. And the good thing about a 30 is that you can always sell it, I figure, after I sell the 30 it will end up costing me about $70.00, thats my loss. But $70.00 is a good investment to learn to fly the Heli, so thats not so bad.

Flmgrp, I know your point is to save money from the jump, and believe me I wish I could, but the money you save on fixing a 30 vs. fixing a 60 is worth it, if you crash. Fortunately I have not crashed and havent had to spend the money, but I dont regret buying the 30 one bit.

Its been times when I was flying when I told myself, if I crash it I'll just spend a few dollars to fix it up, now if that had been my dreamship, I would have been less likely to progress as quickly.


Just my 2 cents. Daz...
