===========

I am planning to buy one of the followings or something else for a
friend who is brand new to this hobby and has no experience in flying
helis:

JRP9005A  (JR VENTURE KIT,32 SX-H ENGINE, MUFFLER)
JRP9005C  (JR VENTURE CP30 HELI/RADIO/ENGINE/GYRO/MUFFLER COMBO)

But my friend has already bought following items at his own:

a) All the radio control things from a Japanese manufacturer called as
JR (Japan Radio) bought in Japan. Here is the list of things he got:

1. 72 Mhz Synthesizer System N9 II HS. This contains following items:
a. PCM 9X II (V2) ; 9 channel SPCM/PPM selectable transmitter for
helicopters (NET N239 HS)
b. RS10DS (Receiver)
c. Four servo motors (DS 811)
d. Battery etc.

2. JR SRVS GYRO set - It contains following:
a. G770T gyro
b. Super servo for gyro (DS 8900G)

3. Flght simulator:
Aerofly Professional Deluxe (version 1.8.0.9)

Please review above and tell me your receommendation. I only want to
buy what he does not already have to save some money. Also does he
need some special simulator to practice ? How about the repair kit and
frequency specturm scanner ?

Thanks
