Wow, the kid comes on here obviously not knowing to much about RC streamer combat and you guys light him up. RRH instead of being ignorant maybe you should of explained to him what your version of RC combat is. And just because he doesn't want to chase streamers around does not mean his style is not combat. You should try what he is talking about some time. The planes carry a small IR combat system on their belly. When you fire at and hit the other plane his engine dies for a couple seconds. If you are to low this obviously ends with your plane on the ground. I'm sorry RRH if the fun others have is not SERIOUS enough for you. Next time I decide to have some fun I will resist the urge to smile so as not to upset you.
As for the original post I think the heli has the advantage. You should give this a try and let us know how it turns out. Only thing is don't use a seperate controller for the gunner. The plane pilot has to control everything so to make it fair so should the heli pilot.
