Howdy All,

I'm looking for a little advice so I'm re-posting this as a new thread instead of staying buried in an older thread.

My wife got me a little heli for Christmas (EF Sabre) and I've already broken a few blades, tail rotor, and a skid. Oh yeah.. I'm hooked. I'm brand new to heli's but have raced buggies in the past, so I'm familiar with most of the tricks that r/c can throw at ya.

After much reading on a bunch of boards I've decided. This weekend I'm going to pick up a copy of G3 and I'm hoping someone could answer a few questions for me -

What add-ons will be necessary to get the best heli experience out of G3?
I've d/l'ed the 140MB heli update, are there any others I should d/l or purchase?

How does the interlink controller handle idle-up and collective? Is there some slider or knob I'm not seeing on the picture of it?
Does the software/interlink controller handle multiple idle-ups? (hover headspeed & 3d headspeed?)

I'm thinking about picking up a JR 6102 or a Fut 7CHP for my future heli purchase - will there be anything special I have to do to be able to use it with G3 concerning electronic mixing or is that modelled on the specific sim-heli? Do they sell cords that attach the radio to the Interlink Controller?

Heh.. so there you have it. A bunch of noob questions. Any information you can give me will help a lot. I've got to travel an hour out of town to get to the closest hobby store with G3, so I want to find out about any additional purchases before I make the trip.
