| NewPurchaseFrom one future rotorhead to another, I gotta go with Rotorheads "Nice List" comment.
I ended up at Heliproz's site also, finding a link to their Beginners Page from somewhere that I was gathering info for getting into the heli's.
If you take a look at the items in the list, and I assume you looked at the other 3 packages they have, it appeared to me, with a couple of exceptions, that all this stuff was going to be pretty necessary to get started. I agree with Rotorhead, that the flight box is not a real necessity for the price (think "Wally World" (Wal-Mart) and I'm not convinced yet on the Wiha tools either, as they seem pretty pricey, but are supposed to be good, not to mention the Latex Foam Padding for the receiver, but consider maybe adding/subtracting a few items, and giving them a call, to see if they'll work with you. I thought it was a pretty good package overall (then again, I have no experience, so 2 burgers and a supersize fries are good too...) and it seems like they may be a good place to deal with. I haven't bought anything much from them yet, but after seeing much info as to reading all I could get my hands on, I recently (last week) picked up Ray's Heli manual from them, and even though I paid shipping cause it was only 20 bucks, they got my book out the same day, and didn't charge a premium for shipping and handling, so I'd certainly consider doing business with them again.
Either way, it sounds like you're farther along than I am in deciding what to buy etc, so good luck, and "rotor side up"
