Default RE: newbie

While I would state the Coronna is a nice heli and is durable, the tail mechanism is easy to jam up and the tail fin does not stay on, leaving the tail rotor completly open to hit on anything.. I'm ont so sure I would advicse that heli. (Just my opinion from my experience with the LMH series). Don't get me wrong, it's great for it's cost, but there are better out there for just a little more money! The parts are not as common (at least in my local hobys shops). Most hobbys shops in my area carry just about everything for the Raptor 30/50, the TREX, The Blade CX and CP. Check around at your local hobby shops and see what heli's they carry parts for.

What parts are available to you is very important.. I have a very nice old 4 channel cricket sitting there ready to fly, but without the clutch plate I am missing, it is of no value.. Unless your a machinist with access to a small metal lathe and a plastic molding machine, parts availability should be an important factor in your decision. Not to mention that ONE little piece you need to go flying tomorrow that you can't get here by mail soon enough can really make for a spoiled weekend!!
