Me, again


I want to get a toy helicopter for my husband and want to know if anyone has any experience with some that aren't those cheapy mini ones or ones that fall apart. I am willing to invest a little bit of money for quality... any advice?


Answer
Hi meagan,
Good for you for wanting to get something that cool for your hubby. :)
I have several RC helis, and the first question that gets sent back to new people asking questions is what is your budget.
Next would be where are you going to fly it?
There is such a huge range, from $100-almost flyable models to $3000 killer stunt monsters.
Small electrics you can fly in your living room to nitro powered smoke spewing helis that are only usable at a dedicated flying field.
There are co-axial models (two rotors) that look a bit less like a typical helicopter, but are amazingly steady and easy to fly.
There are single rotor helis that are much more capable, but much harder to fly.
I have linked some good forums where you can read a lot more about which models work well for people. Read a lot. Ask a lot of questions. Feel free to email me if you have more questions.
Good luck!

What is the Titan 450 V2 RC Helicopter like?




Jasper Han


Hey, I am reasonably new to the hobby, and i am also cash strapped :) is this heli any good? will it cost more in the long run than a blade 450? i know the blades are gonna be better quality and everything. But will the Titan give me a few years? also can you get parts from them or do the Trex parts suit?

or maybe you have another suggestion for a cheaper collective pitch 450ish?
Thanks



Answer
Have you ever flown? Do you have a good simulator like Realflight ( www.realflight.com ) or Phoenix? Have you ever flown Collective Pitch? Fixed Pitch? What is your background.

The mini titan and the blade 450 are both good 450 sized heli's. I would however suggest an Align T-Rex 450 SPORT (not pro!). Belt driven heli's are easier to fix and until you get good I would not suggest a torque tube helicopter like the T-Rex 450 Pro.

If you want to go a little bigger, Try a Compass Atom 500 or a T-Rex 500E (the belt driven version!).

One more thing: If you're cash strapped, this hobby isn't for you. A great first collective pitch helicopter is infact the Blade MCPX...don't overlook this little bird. If you're strapped for cash right now, that's the way to go and chances are your local hobby shop stocks parts for it. (check it out at www.bladehelis.com) Hope this helps and enjoy this great fun, hard and rewarding hobby my friend!
