What about standard ARTF

[tostos]

I'm beginner and want to start from standard set offered by flying-hobby that contains 4 micro servo Maxell 306HB, micro telebee heading-hold gyro plus 2 li-pol's.

Have someone tried this one set-up. Can it deliver some pleasure and fun or should I forget it and by better parts?

I don't think I would recommend this for a beginner.

I believe that most of us Gaui 200 people have experience from other more established helicopters, and we brought that experience over to build/fly this gaui 200.
I know that is this was my first heli, I would have probably given up.

I know the gaui 200 is attractive to beginners because it is cheaper for most parts. But it is harder to control then a 450 sized helicopter.

I would recommend going with a Trex 450 because their are all the finless bob build videos to help build and understand the basics of helis.
Or a blade 400 as well, because there will be a lot of support for it as well.

If you still want to buy the kit and set it up by your self being new, I would still recommend watching finless bobs video's, because a lot of that info will still transition over to help with this.

I brought a similar kit from just heli's here in England I have had a esky belt for 8 months plus varous other heli's so know roughly what I am doing putting this together, the build was fairly straight forward as the frame etc all came assembled just needed the electrics fitting. The first thing I did was change the mx306 servo's I know people and I had one of the servo's fall apart the top is only a push fit, so dumped them! Went for hs45's after a lot of searching, had a problem with the tail setup and still sorting but think I know where I have gone wrong. So would I build and start with a 200 not sure, it is very small the parts are very small you need to do a lot of web searching to find how to build it, the instructions in places are confusing.

Now if I was doing it again I would get the kit without the servo's and buy a decent set, some might get on with the mx's but mine fell apart.

I agree and disagree at the same time. Yes it's harder to fly but if you can fly a 200 you can probably fly anthing bigger. I started on a CP Pro and the Gaui is a dream compared to those. No it's not as stable as my Trex but it sure is fun and cheaper to crash. So IMO if you have the heart and the wallet then the Gaui 200 isn't a bad choice because it flys better than some of the other non-trex heli's out there.
