Help on this heli models
 
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.


(i still dont know what a 15a is
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.
