I need help choosing a sub-micro R/C Helicopter for a beginner?
I am after a sub-micro RC helicopter for mainly flying around my house. I have narrowed it down to two that look very cool:
Micron CX
& the -
Walkera 5#5
But I am open to suggestions.
Does anyone have experience of these two? Which do you recommend? Why does everyone on the net dislike Micron products? Any others I should consider?
Thanks in advance!
I have a Blade CX, too….it took me approximately a day or so to get the feel for the controls, and I crashed a couple of times…did a little damage, but no worries—got some spare parts, a little bit of repair time, and I was back in the air….I got smart and bought the training gear (which is nothing more than four pingpong balls mounted to the skids) so if I had to cut power in a hurry, any imminent impact with the ground wouldnt be so harsh.
Good Luck!
PS—if you're going to fly in the house, make sure you have lots of room to fly, and at least 8 feet of ceiling space….even though the micro heli-chopper is small, it's quick…..
PPS—don't worry about stupid gits like 'akfiddy'…..can't even spell the word "hobby" so it sounds like he/she's not intelligent enough to learn about R.C. anyhow! >:-)
