Hi everyone i'm looking for a new 2.4ghz 4ch coaxial heli. I am a beginner and want to buy a proper beginner's heli where I can learn to fly. So does anyone have it for sale.

Budget : max 6.5k

For that budget you can get one from heliflier @ 5.5k.
But i feel its better to save up and get the 11k kit with Radio from pvn2000.

Hey thanks rajath, had seen that. If no one else is having then ill buy that but probably that will be a bit difficult to master than a co-axial one.  That 11k is way beyond what I can afford now.  ;D

its has not been used more than 3 or 4 times. never even made full throttle. i bought it for learning but never really tried/had time. i also have 100+ spare blades + lots of upgrade/spare parts (metal also) + extra batteries. if u are interested pm me. i will let u know the price accordingly.

Rohit please consider a 6ch 3d heli. Even i wanted to get into helis long back and have spent a lot of time researching. A co-axial is quite easy to master.You will out-grow a 4ch very soon but a 6ch 3d is very challenging. You will learn a lot more with a 6ch heli.
At all costs avoid a co-axial!

A 450 sized heli can be used outdoors but a 4ch can be used only on a VERY calm day - you will be stuck inside.
For indoor flying a 3ch ModelArt heli is all you need.

At 6.5k you can get a 450GT from hk. Electronics + heli should fit with 6.5k.
Which radio do you use currently?

I feel your best bet is to go in for the 2.4GHz two blader being sold by Hellyflyer. I have it and I am yet to master it. It will prove to be a good model to get you ready for bigger stuff. It can be flown indoors if you have enough space but is strictly an outdoor model for a calm, windless day.

Hey, thanks so much rajath. My radio is Sanwa RDS8000.

@VC bhaiya: The only concern regarding that is if I break the tail rotor then where do i get a spare one?

Looks the same and seems to be the same dimensions - dirt cheap ($6 for 5 pcs + FREE Shipping) + I have bought a lot of stuff from these guys and never faced any problems :

Helis and Quads ROCK !!

This heli can be imported directly from the site, however, you will miss out on the personal guarantee and services of Hellyflyer, a trusted forum member.

God forbid, if your consignment is stuck up at the Customs, you've had it! I know, I faced that problem with my HK 450.

VC sir was your HK heli shipped through Registered air-mail or EMS? Any damages to the items you recieved?

VC

EMS. No damages, just a hefty unofficial transaction involved. Amounting to almost 85% of the total cost of the consignment!

Remember, anything coming in via EMS, HAS to be routed through Indian Customs. No such rule for Air Mail or Air Parcel.

Hmmm thanks for that. And was the package noticably "big" enough to attract customs attention if brought under air-mail?

I have bought similar looking blades for my cb180q from a chinese ebay seller. They look the same as the walkera originals, but they are not.
They are much more brittle than the originals and many of them cracked on my attempt to get it on the tail shaft itself and those that got on, split to pieces even on the slightest abuse.I am not saying these blades are as bad, but if they are, that's cos they are only worth as much as they cost. Since it is only $6 with shipping for 5, there's not a lot to lose anyway. So beware, don't buy in bulk if you are buying first time  :salute:
