RE: Totally newbie...need 1st heli buying advice
Well, I was going to let someone with some actual experience with this or the Hirobo version of it give you feed back, but since you are pretty antsy for info, I'll give you my $0.02 based on what I've heard/read...
That is a Walkera knockoff of a Hirobo heli. From what I've read, Walkera quality isn't great, especially for their electronics. I don't have any experience with this type of counter-rotating blade heli, but I've read that the Hirobo version is very stable and easy to fly. It sounds like it may actually be too easy if you plane on moving on to main/tail rotor type helis later on.
Everyone I've heard from that has the Hirobo versions of it liked it and thought it was great.
