| We've just discussed it not too long ago about what to get initially.....
Here is the link:http://www.runryder.com/showtopic.h...69&topicid=5345
You'll find that the opinions are different on this matter. I've started with a 30 and upgraded to a 50 when it became available. I wish the 50 was available when I have started, it would have saved me some money.
The way current helis are marketed, your up front cost will be about $200 more for the 50, it will need more fuel as the 50 is more thirsty than the 30, but crash cost should be very close if not the same on the new 30/50 birds. So if you have the extra $200 I'd say go for it, as you'll end up with a heli that is not going to break the bank when (I used "when" instead of "if" on purpose here  ) you crash it. The 50 helis coupled with the OS50 will have a power to weight ratio that rivals the 60 machines with a 91 in them! I think that makes it a lot easier to learn 3D.
Personally I really like the Hirobo Sceadu 50, but other contenders are the Raptor 50, the Century Falcon and some others....... Check out my site for more info in the "What to get?" section..... Good luck! |
I dont want to waste the money( I will need it for repairs)
