Default Wanting to Learn this time around

Hey whats guys...

Back in 2002, I bought a TRex and crashed it 3 times. No SIM practice whatsoever. Actually yes I got a little bit of SIM time after my third crash and already giving up on helis. At the time, I was just too stoked at having a heli and was just too anxious to lift off. Well of course, I crashed and burned everytime. After the 3rd crash, I gave up helis and stuck with my RC cars/trucks. I spent a fortune and the high costs of rebulding just put me off.

Now, I want to get back into it but take my time this time around. I just bought Realflight G5 and I'm now looking for a transmitter for the SIM. I dont have a heli yet or even know which one Iwant, I just know I want electric. I'm looking to master RealFlight first before even putting down money on a heli this time...

Which transmitter would you guys recommend on buying? I'm looking for something high end that will last me a long time. I dont mind putting a lot into the transmitter as I wont be flying a real heli for awhile so I dont mind breaking the bank for a transmitter.

Thanks!

You DO NOT need a transmitter with Realflight. It already comes with a transmitter box to use with the program. Why do you want to buy a transmitter now?

Might a suggest a Blade SR? Reason I say this heli, it is a great combo to learn CP on and will set you back 200 bones. You can get the rush of backyard flying without a big deal if you dump it. It is very stable for a beginner and a good way to cut your teeth even if you had a 450 and struggled to the point of quit. After that, you can grab a Trex 500 or alike. Just a thought.

To add: the Spectrum DX6i is a great radio for a couple hundred bucks that will long live your ability. Jump back in Man and have some fun. Later
