does any one live in NJ and could give me some training on a helicopter? Im 14 and I want to learn how to fly one.

Have you ever seen them fly? Take a look at:

Download a couple, they're great to watch. They won't teach you much, but if you want to learn, download this:

That way you can practice using the controls. To get help with setting the thing up, you'll have to find someone a bit closer than Yorkshire, England .

you are doing the right thing though, coming on here and asking for help. Many people buy one and try and do it all themselves. They usually get nowhere. You are doing alot of research before you buy which is what I like to see. It looks like whatever you end up with, you will do very well with it!

There is a school located in NJ that offers heli training. If you don't want structured training check out your local field. If you ask around I'm sure someone will be glad to help. Try this listing

Thank you very much. by the way what kind of electric heli should I get first. I have masterd the Vectron BlackHawk. I want one that is going to be easy to keep stabel and hovering. I was thinking about getting the Eco 8 from hobby-lobby.

I would like a person who can fly electric helis and lives near me. If it is possible I would like some advice and training so I know how to fly a electric heli.
