Hiya all ... as a newcomer to the world of micro heli flying, i would welcome some advice pls ... i 'm sure this will make more than one of u smile ... but . oh well !
my wife bought me a toy for christmas, a picooz . yea yea, i know it's a toy for 8 yrs + .... but after smashing it into walls, the christmas tree and the cat, i now find i can control it ... a fairly controlled figure of eight and landing etc..... i'm hooked !! but i would like to move on to something that is more realistic and which i have more control over , by that i mean more responsive and accurate.... i've looked at the micron v2 and cx ... am i being too ambitious ??

Or a trex 450 xl or any oh the trex range. i started with a twister bell 47 contra rotating heli then a twister cp then a raptor 30. check out my raptor 30 on youtube. austinpowers1977 user name on there.

No i dont think u should get a Trex yet i would surrgest a Twister bell 47 or medevac. Something counta rotating. Then u do get 4 channels but dont risk crashing. the Trex 450 is a lively machine.
Take my advice i went from picco Z to Twister bell 47 then Trex 450XL then Raptor 30 V2,which i have to say is the WORLDS BEST 2 stroke model helicopter and engine. Just if u get one of them u will be spending at least £500 easy. i did. But DO NOT buy ur gyro from EBAY! i found out at a cost of £50 that they are rubbish or been crashed damaged and then sold on. NOT GOOD. But good luck u may contact me 4 advice been flying since i was 14 and now 31. i have alot of experience in helicopter and planes. U name it ive flown it.
