The Next step...
I have had a Blade Cx-2 for 6 months or so now and am wanting to take a step forward in RC helicopters. I dont know much about non co-axials so I am looking for advice. Budget is $300-400. Should I look at FP or CP? I buy all my stuff online since there is no LHS anywhere close to me. Is a 2.4GHZ system neccessary? I dont ever fly around anyone else. Also, I have to be able to fly it outdoors, thats my main problem with CX2 is if a small breeze comes, say bye-bye. Fixing them is not a problem, I did plenty of repairs to my CX2 and understand electronics and mechanics very well. I have looked at some of the King Bees. A belt drive tail seems like a good ideas considering how many people say their tail motors go out, but Im not sure. Some say that FP is the next step and others say I can skip it and go CP. I just would like some advice on what models to start looking at because it can get overwhelming really fast, and I want to buy something that other people have had luck with. Thanks in advance.
