Hi all,

Firstly, apologies for partially duplicating post (i've already posted the help i'm new message

HELP I'M NEW.

I've been into the idea of model rc helis for a while but put off by the price. Now after a few years of model aircraft flying I see the cost of owning a flying rc heli has improved somewhat!

It was with great delight I came across your forum here, most of the questions I had have already been answered by reading through the posts, there are some very clever chaps posting. The problem I have is with the heli technology, I'm not sure whats compatable and whats specialist if you get what I mean.

The model that originally caught my eye was the Smartech Aerohawk, a fantastic all ready to go ready built setup (though the first thing I would probably do upon obtaining one is take it to bits again. Fixed pitch to boot, meaning a little less for me to deal with whilst learning. However, after a little investigation i find there are zillions of models in the mini electric league! Now I'm just plain stuck.

Now what I am after is value for money that I can fly in my lounge, the aerohawk seems the best in that catagory. But to throw in extra confusion I am looking at what light gear I already have, namely...

a jeti jes050 speed controller (1.2g/5A cont. power/14x14x5mm/6-8 cells/2 servo BEC)

A jeti 4ch REX4 Micro rx

A futaba skysport 6ch TX

I also have a 4-7cell peak charger and a few 500mah cell packs.

Can using this lot save me £££'s ?

Help, I'm a hair away from buying the aerotech kit.

Kindest regards

Crash

Oops, I just bought a dragonfly with a gws rx, a gws gyro and a feda speed controller plus spare odds and ends

I hope I made the right decision, the web makes it far to easy to part with ones cash these days
