What are some good helicopters to consider?
There are several good helicopters on the market. It’s a bit like Ford people versus Chevy people: different people develop preferences for different helis. Good ones to learn on include the Hirobo Shuttle, Kyosho Concept .30, and Kalt Enforcer. An excellent although somewhat more advanced heli is the X-Cell .40. Also, Shluter makes first-rate R/C helis. Check out the local hobby shops to see what the well-supported helis are in your area, and if possible find where the locals fly. Hang out at the flying field for an afternoon or two, and see what the locals are flying.
