X-Cell Gasser, good?
I'm new to helicopters and I'm thinking about buying an X-Cell gas helicopter because gas is more reliable than nitro and I don't want a heli that is going to fall out of the sky. Is this a good pick or can you tell me about some other gas helicopters?

I agree with Nitroflyguy. If you set up a nitro engine right, they are very reliable, and MUCH less expensive. If you ever plan on doing any serious 3D stuff... well, I've never seen a 3D gasser. They are generally heaverier than hitro machines, but they do consume much less fuel. It really depends on what kind of flying you want to do and how much you want to pay for it.

yeah no 3D for you if u get a gasser, and the weight is harsh too they gassers weigh like 35 lbs, id hate to lug that plus my flight gear to the line back and forth, Get a Raptor 30 V2 or 50V2 perfect starter heli and you have the support of everyone here to help you out if u get stuck, for the kit and setup go to Heliproz.com they have THE BEST prices ive ever seen, first id get a sim like Realflight G2 so u can practice without wreckin your machine, if u like it THEN go buy the heli, Shoot me an IM im on AIM at Nitronut zy

X-Cell make the Graphite 3D, so I assume that it is capable of 3D action since that is more costly than the one that I am looking at.

yes but that is a competition heli i believe, not for the beginner, dude if u want big and reliable get a Raptor 60 V2 with an OS engine Os makes some of the best motors in the business, if u get some big huge expensive heli and you total it before you learn forward flight you will be real upset
