Fantastic little helicopter – I say little, but that is only in comparison to the Concept 60 on the other page. Compared to the numerous electric helicopters on the market, it is still pretty huge.
As with any nitro (or electric for that matter) helicopter it must be treated with huge respect, everything checked – and then checked again. The blade diameter is almost 4 feet and when they turn into a blur at around 1500 rpm (I think), there is a fantastic amount of energy within them – quite enough to do a lot of damage.
The beginner should always get a helicopter checked out by someone with experience. I got both of my helicopters checked, test flown and set up by my local Hobbystores model shop a few years back – for only a few pounds. I will recommend that the people who buy these from me do the same thing (unless they are already experienced).
Having said all that, this is a fantastic piece of machinery, and has given me many hours of fun, building, setting up, understanding (or trying to!) and to be quite honest just having and looking at.
Learning reactions is best done on a simulator – such as the G3 one (on one of my other pages) – the helicopter is easy to fly when the tail is pointing at you, but can catch you out when it is ‘nose-in’. The trick is to watch the nose and not the tail.
