RE: beginers beware
helis are not that bad if you get help from someone that knows whats going on. Sure, a little more, but you can do them economical too.
Then the bug bites and WHOA, you start the spending spree!!! Fun hobby though. Beats the heck out of sitting in the bar. I stopped for a beer after work last week for the first time in a long time and blew $50 before I walked out. Next time I am stopping by the hobby shop instead!!!
