| I was thinking of buying a Venture and have read past posts on its problems, gear rub, skid mounts and replacing the engine mount. Is the Venture a good first helicopter even with its problems? I bought a Concept 30DX from a friend years ago when I was in the Army he flew it once I never flew it due to little free time. The Concept is now outdated due to parts and price. Will the Venture be the same as the Concept in a year or two or is it the future as far as entery level copters. I have looked at the Piccolo and Corona but the Piccolo seems fragile and the Corona seems limited as far as performance. I believe both would require more money in the long run due to batteries,motors,speed controlers etc. I like that JR has its own line of radios, kits, and gyros so compatablity is good. Besides I just love the engine wine and the smelI of nitro. I thought of getting the JR662 radio and the CSM SL560 gyro because of less weight and added gyro amp. Are the new CSM gyros better or equal to the JR gyros and whats a good silent muffler for the OS engine? Any help and suggestions would be great.
Thanks,
