Hello ALL

I am abs new to the world of RC.

Bought a RC Heli for the heck of it a couple of weeks ago... I think I now hold the world record for the most crashes in a single minute ... the heli can hardly fly now, seems to be only going backupwards, bits & pieces have fallen off and so the story goes on ...

But I am HOOKED to this now. Want to buy another RC Heli and try all over again.

Where & Which RC heli should I buy which will sort of survive the antics of a beginner ? Perhaps a cast iron heli or something like that ...

Looking forward to a response

Regards

PS I am based in Pune


PD

Which one did you have previously

Most importantly, do you have an approximate budget ?

Picked up one from LandMark

Thought I should learn how to fly one before really investing in an expensive r/c heli

Interesting model (with a tail rotor on a coax!).

These are toy helis, some people do not even consider them proper RC

In any case, a lot of sim practice is a must before you try a real RC heli.  You can see various heli threads here on how people have progressed.  In fact, this whole forum seemed like a heli only thing for a little while  

Please do read up, and let us know if you have specific questions.

This would be a design challenge for the top Engg colleges! I don't think anybody winning in the near future.

agree with Anwar completely... Heli needs heel lots of more practice than may be plane.. SIM is the cheapest way.... even after lots of parctice, flying a real heli (with lots of your hard earned $$ in it) is a totally different thing... I have heard generous people confessing their hand shaking on their first heli flight  

The best you can start with is with Training Skids for the heli of your choice. They make hard landing some what forgiving, but once either blade hits mother earth, no heli on earth can take the hit. What follows is changing lots of parts (apart from blades) or even scavenging the heli for parts...

I am myself practicing for the past fortnight, and still couldn't gather courage to start assembling the HK-450 v2 lying my closet.

buy a cheapo chinese available in local market for Rs1200 in delhi......

its good fopr practice it doesent cost much even if it breaks can be flown outdoors.........

i'll try and post some pics
