Hi guys

Thanks a lot for the last responese. Great team out here. I am getting closer to purchase my first heli. I have the following questions.

The set I am planning to go with is

Hirobo Sceadu 30
OD32SXH engine
JR 410 Gyro
AD6000 Remote

Can anyone tell me the difference between the 6 and 8 channel control and JR vs. Futaba


My question is does it make sense to buy whole field kit for $314 or should i buy the items singel THe kit would include

Do I need all this stuff ( It is a lot of money

If all that stuff comes in the Field Kit then That's the way to GO!!! You will use the good stuff if you have it!
Dang, I could have got more for less if I'd paided attention the field kit adds.

Nice list!

You have picked out all the right stuff it appears. The flight box is something you might want to rethink, as it is more for the plank boys. Many use tackle boxes that they like, and the famous tool box stool version is popular with many.

Go for an 8 channel, you'll just end up wanting/buying one later.

And take a look at the Futaba 401 w/9253 for a gyro. Best value going.

From 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"

Get a tackle box at Walmart, the starter in the picture below (mostly the battery holder, packs and whatever starter you like) and a self contained glow driver with current meter.
