hi all,

looking for help here. i am fairly new to the RC helo thing but have been learning for quite a while with an e-flite mini and i'm ready for the next move to a larger co-axial good for indoor/outdoor. i have been looking at the 2009 walkera HM53Q 2.4GHz aluminum upgrade and also the 2008 ESKY coastguard 2.4GHz. i would also like to get upgraded batteries for this. has anyone at nitroplanes or any other users got any advice? please keep answers pretty standard (plain english - i'm new to all this). i have money to burn, but want to make sure i get the best available for my next step...........

Yes coxial is always a good choice for beginner. Yes there are upgraded lipo batteries available but if you get a battery with larger size then you might not able to fit the battery into the compartment. If you are can make your own modification then go ahead and get a bigger battery otherwise stay with the stock battery. Get a few spare on the side so you can have more flight time.

thanks john for your quick response.........i actually just ordered the airwolf by wakera. after doing research i got a little worried about the posts from people (obviously more experienced than me) and their comments on control, overheating and stability issues with the chinook model. from what i could see the "airwolf" model had better flying time per battery and possibly more stability? i think i'll see how i get on with this, it will be my first outside/inside large area flyer and then look to get the chinook in the new year. question for ya though john..........if i wanted to get the chinook and "totally" deck the thing out with brushless/low heat motors, upgraded battery and holder/s etc.........is that something i could special order from you guys to upgrade from me??

p.s. just got order confirmation the airwolf, you guys are soooooooo quick! you have my ongoing business from now! thanks so much, and answers appreciated!

the chinook is a coxial heli and it's not really necessary to to upgrade to brushless. The chinook is already has metal upgrades so once you get to 6 ch heli that's why you do brushless upgrades.
