I have flown Gas Helis over the years. Started w/ a Shuttle in 1993.
I've had a Kyosho 30, Excel 60 and now still have a Raptor 30 from a few years back. I have the Raptor setup for 3D and do flip flops and inverted w/ it so I can get my bigger jollies w/ that guy. Couple years ago I got a Hummingbird FP. It was fun to fly in the garage or basement but this is darn crummy in forward flight. I'm looking for a new electric. Nothing fancy but I do want to do loops, stall turns and not have it so squirrly in forward flight as the fixed pitch humming bird which is totally out of control when the head speed drops. I'm looking for something RTF w/ a radio for $200-$300. Is there anything out there worth buying or should I drop the idea?
My local hobby shop carries some eflite parts but not that much.
This will not be my main heli, just something to fly in the morning when the wind is nearly nill.
I had seen the adds for the AXE CPv3 but later was looking at the Esky belt CP.
Thx for any advice
