Hi all,
I am interested in getting a R/C helicopter but not sure where and how should I start? Can anyone give me some tips and what is the recommended heli should i get?

I found from http://www.rcsmart.com.my there are many types of R/C helicopter and getting confused. My budget is about 1K at the moment.

Regards,
^Dan

i oso got myself a 4 channel dolphin couple of weeks ago ...
now can hover and fly indoors without hitting too much stuff
my heli oso not hovering 100% stable even indoors with almost no breeze ... no idea about swashplate etc etc to adjust ...

now bored with it coz cannot fly outside due to wind ... thinking of upgrading .. go up to 6 channel or upgrade my existing set ... might not be worth it to upgrade coz upgrades will come close to buying a new set already

Guys, head over to Hobby-Asia.com for more detailed product range

no REAL SHOP ah ?? only online selling ??
wanna see and feel more helis la .. hahaha

still waiting for hobbyist rather than sellers in here to chit chat and discuss

well, i have been a flyer for almost 2 years, just recently thinking of supplying to the local market, and since i have extra and that suppliers need me to eat so large quantity, i set up and online shop lor......

i m also a hobbyist!!! check out youtube, search on my nick : uniquexme

i have post some video quiet some long time ago, some on self build parkjets, some on the heli.

oohh .. ok
actually the videos in the hobby-asia site were taken by u one ah ??
that walkera 4G3 V2 flying was done by u ?
this 4G3 V2 can fly outdoors well like the other 450/500 sizes or not ?? powerful enuff to brave mild breeze outdoors ??

no lah, those video not taken by me. well, i havent try the 4G3, but i think shd be ok, but of course not as stable as 450.

yaa .. i think the 4G3 looks too light to be stable
most prolly have to be quite good/pro to handle it la i suppose ... too light and too power liau .. hahahahaa

me currently a wannabe in the RC heli stage .. still have difficulty doing tail out hovers and movements ... tail in no probs at all
just need to work more on the orientation ... have to do more simulation .. hahahahaaa

i think shd be ok for me. but i m way toooooooo lazy lately. hahaha..... i m quite ok with my CopterX 450SE V2 with Scorpion motor, combined with 30C lipo, really nice to fly 3D. can only do flips, rolls, side-way tic tocs, and piro flip now. still have no idea how to perform funnel which i really want to learn.

i dunno about the moves u are tokking about yet ... still trying to learn proper orientation .. hehehe
will try to dis-assemble the heli and learn about the parts and what i can do or cannot do .. calibration etc etc
saw an align with futaba tx last week in another shop .. no further upgrades necessary to do 3d i was told .. heli oso looks solid and nice ... tempted .. hahahahaa
but will have to do more simulator and control temptation due to current economic situation ..

for your info, CopterX 450SE V2 is the direct clone of Align Trex 450SE V2, so basically everything is the same, but of course at a much more cheaper price.

asking price for that heli + futaba tx was rm1.5k ... dunno can nego how much .. will have to do more market research 1st .. i think that one is size 400 or 450 ... dont want something too big
this is a new shop in klang ... i havent had the time to go look at the 3 RC shops in amcorp yet for comparison ..

oh, if that was align, then it must be 450. u mean 2nd hand bro? for 1.5k? actually there is a flyer here with align, but then when he saw us all flying copterx, here start to buy CopterX parts to fit into his Align. haha... coz everything is similar. can't comment much about the futaba that your are talking about, but i would assume that its 6EXP, personally i would prefer 2.4GHz, like the Spektrum DX7 that i m using, but if u are on budget, i would still advise u taking the DX6i (remember with the i). And also stay away from Futaba 2.4GHz which is known as FASS, coz the receiver is very expensive.

hope that might help u.

hmmm ... rm1.39k at hobby-asia almost price of that align with futaba liau lorr .. the futaba tx looks much nicer than the copterX one .. hehehe
have to be a smart consumer maa

oh, that one u saw is RTF, but the kit only is cheaper mah.... somemore on promotion now.. dun get me wrong bro, i m not persuading u to buy from me.. its just that u mentioned futaba radio with align trex 450se v2 brand new selling RM1.5k? where did u see that? its pretty cheap if for brand new and RTF....... but surely not RTF, u still have to add in servo, gyro. Futaba gyro alone is 400+

ooh .. thanks for the heads up on the FASS
its BRAND NEW for the heli and tx (RTF) .. not so knowledgeable about rc heli and tx yet .. thats why have to look around more
basically i am seriously bored and wanted something else coz the stoopid dolphin cannot fly outdoors ... earlier i tried again and ended up the small little breeze blew the heli into my gate altho i was doing my best to get the heli to go forward ... hahahhaa
