could anybody help?

i am considering buying a hirobo XRB Mini Lama for my first helicopter. I've never even touched a plane or a heli before. I just want somehting that will be simple and easy for me to learn with. Should i buy a simulator before I buy any heli., or should I just teach myself with the mini lama? thanks for any help.

I would recomend the sim myself. And a 30 sized nitro heli for your first bird. But that is just me. No matter which one you choose, helis are not, and never will be easy to learn how to fly. But man are they fun. They are well worth the time/money it takes to learn. Have fun, and good luck. Oh and find a person to help you when you do get a bird. It is much easier than going it alone.

Hi, I just got started myself in RC, no experience before. Have a heli put together but need to iron out the bugs. A simulator is a must or otherwise it will be crash after crash. just no way to get the hang of it. On a sim just hit the reset key. No money lost. I have Realflight G2. (excellent)

I would recommend you get a popular heli and learn with it before you fly a scale ship. Once you learn to hover and manuver around you can start with the scale heli. This will save you $$$ in the long run.
