Where To Start...?

[JChapman823]

Ok guys.. After about 3 weeks of just trying to figure out where to start, I've finally settled on the T-Rex 450 Pro V2 SE Kit. So, before I get to the real question, let me give you some background....

I've been in RC for about 3 Years now. I first tried to go straight into Heli's, and realized very quickly that I needed to get more financially fit for that. So, have been working with Cars for almost all 3 of these years.

I know right away that I need a good simulator (Realflight was what I used before) and that I'll need a good TX, that I can use with my later Heli's. I've done a little bit of research and knowing that where I live, It's windy (Kansas), I wanted to got straight into the 450's.

Now, the real question. Where is the best deal!? I know which Heli I want. I know it's not cheap, but, might as well save every bit I can. Anyone know any good websites or where to get the best deal? I will probably look for a used TX (DX6i, or DX7s), but want to see if you guys could point me into the right direction for the kit and/or the simulator!

I appreciate all of the help..and glad to finally post instead of all of the lurking I've been doing!!

Try the used heli section here at HF or get in touch with some people at your local club!

tx..i would recomend something in the high end market..futaba, hi-tec or jr.

if its very windy where you live a 450 might be a bit small..15mph winds make a 450 a bit of a handfull.

bash the sim for hours until you have some control over the heli...most new fliers crash within 30 seconds
good luck
