What are the different battery types? I'm buy a Blade and am planning to
purchase the upgrade kit, however it says that I'll need a "2 cell Lipo"
battery for it to work. What does that mean?
Also, I'm thinking about getting a gas, how much am I going to have to

I am an absolute beginner with rc-helicopter flying (also in RC and in
flying), the guy that will help me learn fly rc-heli's uses Reflex and says

I have a Draganfly - it's a 4 rotor rectangular shaped rig.  The rotors are made
of some type of curved paper, but is very fragile, it's easy to chip or break.
I don't want to keep replacing them at $6/each.  Is there a store that sells a
lightweight plastic rotor?

how do I connect the receiver-battery to the receiver ???????? The receiver

I don't know about other cities but, in Kansas, it seems that there is
no place for Helio's pilots to belong to any clubs. It is mostly
Airplane pilots. There might be maybe 2-3 people in these clubs that

Could someone please upload the Real Flight G2 and all add-on cd's
I lost a HD and all my iso went with it

I have a Blade CP and the covering on the main blade tips has come open at
the seam and beginning to tear further.  Is it possible to re-cover these
