For some reason I have the urge to purchase a remote control helicopter. What would I have to spend for a quality one? |
|
I have had the bug for one too, looked into them and it appeared to be a $500 min purchase, with a very high probability that I'd wreck it and need to spend more on repairs....
Then one day a friend showed me this $20 toy he got for his son. I swear we drank and played with it for hours and even though we wrecked it a few times it still flew. I'd say get one of these first, it might take the edge off, and you'll get a little fly time without the big investment. If it's still a huge pull, get the bigger toy and spend the bucks. |

Flying the cheapy $20-$30 ones is a blast although nothing like flying a collective pitch heli. OP, if you're serious about it but don't want to spend a whole bunch, get a Blade CX or whatever the newest equal is and go here: Radd's School of Rotary Flight |
