Ok,
So I have been flying the Micro Mcx for a while and am hooked. I have spent a ton on time on realflight, and just bought a Axe CPv3. It is relatively unstable and I crashed it already...............I have decided that I need a bigger, more stable heli. I have been looking and it seems like nitro is the only way to go for something big with some stability.
I am looking for a good beginner nitro heli. I am considering .30-.60 size, with a bias towards the Raptor 30 with Pro 39 engine.
What do you guys think? Is there any advantage to a 50 or 60 over the 30 besides extra power? I know the 50 is close to the same airframe as the 30..................
I am thinking I need a DX7 for the radio package..............extra channel plus everyone seems to think its easier to use!
Also, who is good to deal with on purchase? I was looking at Heliproz and A main hobbies.................
If your budget can hold it, I would go with a 50. There is no way that you will outgrow the 50's mix of agility, stability, power to weight ratio and cost.
The DX7 is a great radio, but again, if your budget can hold it, I would go with an 8 or 9 channel radio in the 2.4 band. The 60 is underpowered for the size and the 90 is fairly expensive and intimidating.
You cannot go wrong with Heliproz or Ron's Heliproz south (rcheli.com)
