NEVER CALL IT A TOY!!!
Mind That Mann...
Its Hobby grade stuff..These are scale downed models with full scale technology, so they are NOT TOYS

dude never meant to call it a toy but some of my friends askd me to try out a toyshop first and dude really I know u love what u do but still I was just looking for some help. I meant no insult

Go through the RC India Gems and the RC India Wiki. Those two pages should answer most, if not all of your questions.

All I will say, do your research before you buy anything, respect the hobby and be ready to learn new things everyday. Welcome to RC India and the interesting world of RC.

Hi newbie,

if you want to start with a Heli, I suggest u start first with an electric heli (fixed pitch) which has two rotor blades and they are much easier to learn the basics and fly than single blade (fixed pitch). Fixed pitch means the blades cant move up or down. Just for your information...these heli's are not toys as most of the newbies think... the RC versions is a model of the real replica actual model and it can harm or even kill someone if misused so if you want to start with a nitro heli, i suggest start with a 30 size and get urself a trainer stand and someone who can setup for u and he teaches the basics how to hover. Also some boxed RTF heli's are easier to fly but I don't recommend for newbies as they need some experience to fly them...(fixed pitch is better for beginners). 

Also if u can spare extra cash than a RC simulator (Realflight G5+ or other RC simulators) will be a good investment where you can learn and crash as many times as you want....hopes this helps....

If you wanted to be pilot, definitely you can be.. It may be quiet expensive, but you can attain PPL( i desire to attain some day). and you can fly for pleasure and leisure.. 

I am novice to RC too... I started off watching lot of videos, reviews on youtube.... thats your best bet to get info apart from great forums like rcindia.org
