looking to purchase a dragonfly or humming bird. Im new to this hobby. any suggestions and where to buy. and also i here these are very hard to fly. I have rc airplane experience is that helpful

RE: beginner
 

They are harder to fly than fixed wing and harder to fly than larger glow powered heli's. I have the Hummingbird and it's a very good flyer. The easiest setup would be with the Hummingboard (ESC/tail mixer board), but separate ESC's, gyro and rx is not all that hard to set up. They seem to be pretty tough and parts are inexpensive.

where would i purchase that setup for the hummingbird,or do you think i should start out with a nitro like the century hawk. thanks

RE: beginner
 

There's no doubt that a nitro heli like the Hawk Sport will take you farther. Able to fly in stronger wind, more aerobatics, etc. It depends on what you want out of it. I have both actually, a Hawk Sport and a Hummingbird.

Century's site has the HB and the Hawk as well as package deals for both.

hey mike, what do you think of the dragonfly package at www.microrcs.com and also i have a jr622 radio i purchased in 2001 for my planes and possibly future helis. do you think this radio is suitable for the century hawk
