most shops in malaysia no problems .. the well known ones laa
to start .. tell us your budget and how determined are u to play and upkeep the heli
we can then suggest something

have a look at http://www.rcsmart.com.my/
see if they have anything u like
budget <rm700 not much choice .. coz a decent radio setup not including heli oso close to rm600 .. batteries ... charger .. heli .. all purchase separately
if u wanna buy something RTF (ready to fly) with radio charger batt heli .. not much choice .. the obvious one would be belt CP but not recommended

looks at post#948 on previous page ... i would go for the walkera ..

hmm i m currently working in a hobby shop tat specialize in R/C heli...at tesco manjalara...there tons of heli to choose from..

ok ... rm1.5k
u can get a new radio futaba 6ex ... less than rm600
as for heli .. u can look for align trex clones 450size or u can look for 2nd hand align trex
u will need batteries and charger ... then u are done

or alternatively ... u can order from OVERSEAS ONLINE HOBBY SHOP
one of the best prices will be http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/index.rc
they have clone helis there ... and other brads of radios that are quite reliable and cheap ... batteries and chargers too
i will list down for u below ....

radio >> http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/u...?idProduct=8992
heli >> http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/u...idProduct=10901
charger (this is the same one i have been using the last almost 2yrs) >> http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/u...?idProduct=7028
u will need a ac/dc converter for the charger ... laptop power adapters 12-15v 5A can be used if u have one
batteries (buy at least 3-4 for more training time) >> http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/u...?idProduct=6306

electronics for your heli
motor >> http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/u...idProduct=11172
servos (3 for cyclic 1 for rudder) >> http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/u...idproduct=11856
ESC >> http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/u...idproduct=11430
gyro >> http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/u...idProduct=15318

note that this is a very capable budget setup ... it will take u from beginner to intermediate

lastly and most importantly ...
SIMULATOR to learn so u dont crash your heli so often
>>  go to rcsmart and ask for the ahemm ahemm version ... less than rm100 i think ... plug that into your radio and fly in your PC for training

or just get a radio locally ... plug in the SIMULATOR ... and practice b4 u even buy anything else ... this way u for sure will crash much much less with your real heli when u get it
if u go this way ... u can buy the stuff/heli as budget allows later

where are u located ??

my realflight downloaded with emulator ... dont need the dongle oso .. hehehe

if i were to choose RTF ... i would take the walkera in the earlier page
small cheap ... batts are cheap too
and can sell to another beginner when u are ready to progress ... but i think u will keep it coz its small and fun to fly around in the house

Hong Kong/China:

http://www.hobby-wing.com/
http://www.chinesejade.com/walkeraV200_Heli.htm
http://www.ehirobo.com/shop/index.php
http://www.miracle-mart.com/store/index.php?main_page=index
http://www.myrcmart.com/
http://www.flying-hobby.com/shop/

But take not that if you order from HK/CN it could take at least 2 weeks to reach you using registered airmail.

I have some online orders from them except the last one .......

Hehehehe, a bit hard to get warranty for hobby parts. But so far I personally feel that the HK/CN sellers are more reliable, responsive and more responsible. Maybe better consumer right in those country and they are actually doing international business with the people all around the world.

But you have to take note that some of the OHS required you to pay for the shipping for return stuff which is DOA - Defect On Arrival.

The last one I was talking about is another hobby shop in HK I think, I have not done any order with them before but reputation not bad ....
Here's a video by dun know who which was comparing HK450 and TAROT heli ...... dun take it serious

hmm i m currently working in a hobby shop tat specialize in R/C heli...at tesco manjalara...there tons of heli to choose from..

Best and reliable radio would be Futaba's radio but quite pricey, especially the receiver  .......

There are alternative options like Turnigy, KDS and so on but I have no idea how good/bad it is .... I am using Walkera 2801 Pro, a 8-ch cheaper radio made in China. So far it is good enough for me as a beginner.

1.) Walkera 4G6, this is where I got the radio from a RTF package.
2.) Trex 450 Pro.

There are a lot of settings in the radio so you have to read a lot or get a Sifu to help you on this. It is really hard to tell you all in this forum now but you may post here to ask just in case you have any setup issue in the future.

Hehehe, I don't think I can help you on those setup issue as I am still a beginner. Bro Qiw is here all the time to help ........

http://www.hobbysportz.com/index.php?main_page=shippinginfo

here ya go that the shop..hahaha...well tat i will need dat i will need to ask my boss..but he did be happy to give discount...

Two questions.

What's the difference between Futaba 6EX Mode 1 and Mode 2?

What makes the Futaba 6EX more expensive than the Turnigy 9X?

Cheers

ok ... cessna hand launch and belly land no problem ... its quite a floater
if u plan to belly ... set your ESC brakes ON ... cover the bottom of your fuselage with some fiber tape to withstand abrasion .. thats all u need to do

long blades are not a problem .. as long as they almost stop or stop spinning when u land ... blade breaks mostly from the rotating impact coz brakes are OFF ..

my EX-PYLONs (3 planes .. 2 given away after crash another i threw away) had blades than goes at 1-2 inch below the lowest part of the fuselage ... no problem
my funjet used to have blades damaged quite easily when i left brakes OFF ... after putting brakes ON .. little to no damage

Added on June 17, 2011, 12:46 pmdont understand what u mean by MAIN HELI SETUP

i fly futaba 8fg .. my 450pro uses r617fs receiver .. electronics are stock standard from align (so far only changed tail servo to futaba 9257 and added an external BEC coz stock tail servo died from EOL)
the thing with heli is setting it up ... setting it up properly will make it much easier to fly .. if u do a chin chai job with your setup then u will have a hard time ... hehehe
