http://www.modelaircraft.org check the search for charter club by zipcode and dial up the nearest club or 2, i'm sure they can put you in touch with the right person.

Hi Jerry,
Just a thought, but you might want to take your phone number off of that post. If I want to contact someone, I use the Private Message to send my phone number. That way, it is not out there for any and everyone to find. I might be a bit apranoid about that, but I like to be careful.

Now, about your heli. Which heli did you get?
Vince

raptor 50 v2

You picked a good heli to start with.
Most of my experience is with electrics (OK, ALL of my experience, except watching my brother fly his nitro, and reading about them here)

Head to http://www.raptortechnique.com and start reading.

ive been to all the heli sites especially raptor techniche
need hands on help

See my first post then and start emailing or head to your local hobby shop and ask them if they know a club or person thats into choppers.

Jerry, Me TOO! I waited until I was 63 before getting bit by the heli bug, but now that I have, I can't get my CoCo Lama to do ANYTHING that makes me think I might eventually be able to fly it. It is just all over the place and inconsistent and scary( parts are NOT cheap ). So, I too need some hands on help so if there's anybody living in S.W. Missouri, who would be willing to help out a newbie ( gobs of hours with fixed wing) please contact me and we can see if where you live and I live are doable as far as getting together. Thanks guys, cause I know there are lots of good guys in R/C and I just need one with a little time to spare.
