good day guys, i am new into this hobby, and i am ready to purchase one bird for me, but my problem is i am looking between two models (Walkera 83 and GH-83 by Amax), the funny part and confusing was when i asked the suppliers to send me a manual/product specs i found out that they are identical to the smallest things. walkera 83 said to be using nitro with 15a engine(i still dont know what a 15a is) and sales people from Amax says GH-83 uses regular gasoline(it also says it uses 15a engine). So please to the experts out there, anyone of you can me a hint on these two models please......... thanks in advance.

The [link=http://www.amax-toys.com/tem/product_e_16.html] GH-83 [/link] sounds like a nitro if you watch the video, I find it hard to believe it's a gasoline motor. Looking at their website some adds have
gasoline and some have gas powered and some have nitro, personally I think it's just the way they word it, they probably have a bunch of different people that work on their website and everyone words it different.
It's the size of the motor.

Hey charlie, Thank you very much for the nice insight..... yeah i believe it is a nitro engine too..... but based on your expertise on these matter, would you advise me (as a beginner) to get this model, either the walkera or tha gh-83?

I really hate to say, I'm not familiar with either one, I don't know anything about them. I know the Walkera 83 has been around for quit a while but I never heard of the GH-83.
The biggest thing to watch for is parts availability, you what something that you won't have problems getting parts for. As a beginner your going to need lots of parts, and
you don't want to have to wait a month or two to get them.
