Hi Guys,

I'm a beginner in RC Heli. I want to purchase a Good 6CH Heli (complete set). need some suggestion.

I'm in Chennai and Do we have a good store to purchase in Chennai. 

what about KDS 450SV 3D Helicopter, is it available in India.

Thanks in advance...

Purush, I am not sure how much experience you have under your belt, but just a word of caution...A 6 ch for an absolute beginner is probably not a great idea. Its ok if you have done some heli flying before on 4 ch and spent a considerable amount time on a sim. Even then a 6 ch the first time around is a daunting experience. I have done six months on fixed pitch 4 ch and about the same time on sims. I still find the 6 ch pretty tough going.
Try Hellyflyer's 4 ch 5889 if its still available.

Hi Pradeep, Thanks for the advice, I have barely a month of experience, I purchased a  heli from china bazaar for Rs 1500 and got crashed. This is the 1st time I'm going for a expensive heli. I dont enven have any Sim exposure too.  let me know any sim which can be downloaded and also to use the Sim any joystick is required.

1. Check with RCBazaar (Bangalore) for a sim. They have a 5 in 1 for about Rs.1700.00. But you will need a compatible Tx to connect up to your comp. I dont know what you have but you could speak or write to Sujju at RCB for advice on this.
2. You are lucky to have Aravind of Rotorsport and Sanjeev from RcDhamaka in Chennai. Meet them and get their advice first hand.
3. Dont jump into buying a 6 ch without enough practice and information. I repeat myself - get a 4 ch and learn and enjoy flying first.
4. When you do buy a 6 ch heli buy one for which spares are available in abundance and at reasonable costs.
4. I too am a complete beginner and hence all the pitfalls are fresh in my mind.

Do I sound paranoid??????

hey.. for Sim do we need to accessories ,In rcbazaar some USB hardware is listed.

Simulator are only software or any hardware is needed for it

Simulators are just softwares, but you'll need to have a Radio system and a compatible interface so as to connect it to the computer and use it.

Rcbazaar is out of stock on simulators, store manager told me that the stock arrives by this tuesday! may be u can order one which would cost you around Rs 750 for 6 in 1 and Rs. 350 for a 3 in 1

They also stock huge spares for heli's in case you crash it!

@ pradeep

Sanjeev from RcDhamaka is from Bangalore! :)

@ Purush

If u have some experience in rc flying and if u are looking for a beginner heli then you can go for the 450ccpm for beginners from rcbazaar.
http://rcbazaar.com/products/677-450-ccpm-for-beginners-green.aspx

But if u dont have any experience at all in flying then get a fixed pitch heli and practice. That too after learning on the simulator of course. I will let the experts suggest u a fixed pitch heli...

what is the radio system compatible with  6 in1 integrated simulator  and where can I download the simulator software

Jatayu

Let me make it clear,

6 in 1 integrated simulator comes with a dvd containing the software, a usb dongle to connect your radio system to the pc , and a set of connectors to suit your radio system. So basically most of the radio systems are compatible to the simulator.
