Hi Jack,

Have you had a look over in the electric forum? Theres lots of good info there. I started with electric and im now considering the move to nitro so i can have a bit more fun outside. I guess the biggest question is what do you want from your heli? Are you looking for something just to fly indoors, or are you looking to for something that can grow with you as you progress with the hobby? There are a lot of good beginner helis out there, but they all have pros and cons depending what you want from them.

Got to go now, but if no one has answered your brushless question i will do so later

This is a great hobby, and very addictive!
