I know absolutely nothing about helicopters, but I would really like to give
my husband one for his birthday. I have looked at this and it seems to be
good for beginners - what do you think?

I am looking for a helicopter with the following:
1 - live wireless camera
2 - payload capacity of 2 pounds or more
3 - range/altitude of at least 400 feet

I am looking to purchase a Radio/receiver with servos for a new T-Rex.
I am new to this and would like some advise. I see kits from JR like
this one: 6102FM, R610UL & 4-S241

Can anyone please tell me the best way to route the antenna on my Rapto

little metal cover loose in it. It looks like the receiver shield. Is

I am new to the hobby and have a Raptor 30v2 that has developed large
vibrations at low rpm's (from idle to about half way to hovering) after
I repaired it from a crash (during my first time in the air).  I
replaced the main blades, tail boom and flybar.  The rest of the major

Hello, i'm looking for a place to buy a sim cord (to plug your transmitter
in the computer, in order to use it with a simulator) for my e-flite blade
cp transmitter.
Can someone help me, because i found one on www.mileshighwings.com but it's

Got one of these and it seems quite temperature sensitive. When
you have to put in half left tail stick in to keep the heli
straight something has to be wrong !
Any recommendations for a good electric heli gyro ? I fly Futaba
