Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / April 2007what chopper next?
My nephew, 20, has mastered the Twister Bell, he says (i havent seen him fly) and he's after the next machine up. He wants electric (hence my question, or I'd suggest a Raptor) and his aim, ultimately, is 3D. Any suggestions?

Trex450 is a good step up from the Twister.. Figure around $500-$800 to get one in the air including a decent transmitter. $1200 for top-notch stuff and a couple batteries.. You'll also need a charger capable of charging LiPo batteries and it'd be a good idea to get a cell balancer as well.. If you go the Trex 600 route, be prepared to drop about $2,000 into getting one airborne with batteries... |
