Depends on the percentage of nitro in it.

Green Morgan with 15% nitro costs RM60.00 per US gallon(3.78 litres), if you buy it in a box which has 4 gallons.

Red Morgan with 25% nitro costs more. 100+. Not really necessary unless you're going for competition.

5% nitro will be the cheapest.

My OS .46AX 2-stroke engine consumes about 300ml/cc of 15% nitro every 10 minutes, at 3/4 to full throttle.

My OS .70FX Surpass II consumes less fuel than the .46. About 150cc for 10 minutes. That's because it's a 4-cycle engine. And since it got so much torque, it's not run at full throttle all the time.

If the engine is big enough, say 1.50ci and above, it will run fine and provides sufficient power with methanol alone. No nitro needed. Just mix methanol and castor oil and you're ready to run the engine.

That will be the E-Sky Lama V3. Similar to the yellow one posted in page 19.

It has co-axial rotors. Each spins in opposite direction to the other. So the craft can hover well. You can get one for about 350-400/-. It comes with everything. ready-to-fly, which include heli, transmittor, Li-Po battery and its charger. The only down side is the transmittor batteries are not rechargeable. So either you have to change the 8 AA size batteries when they are low on power or invest in rechargeable Ni-MH cells.

Lama will fly well in the house hall. It'll fly well in the open as long as there's no wind. A slight gust will push it off course. Good for beginners to learn to hover, and let the fingers acquianted with the controls.

Alternatively, that is if you got a transmittor already, is to buy a simulator software, like Real G3. Install it to your PC, plug in the transmittor and you're ready to fly. However, the PC needs to have a fast video card.

The cheapest heli I had heard of is RM 65.00, in a supermarket.

It's smaller than the palm and the fuselage is made of foam. It has co-axial rotors and a 2-channel transmitter. It's cute. Good to keep gals amused.

Lama would be the best to start with.

One advantage of it is, all the parts are serviceable, ie, replacements are available for every component of the heli. Unlike the cheaper ones, which are not repairable. Once crash, have to write off.
