i started with a twister bell cotra rotating heli just messing about in the living room then i got a t rex learned outside with that got it hovering then i got a raptor 50 and im just starting to fly it around now ideally something around 30 - 50 ic would be ideal but in eletric it can be expencive as you need good reliable flight packs like flight power or the over tec ones from overlander personaly idd stay away from the ebay stuff they only have about a 10c discharge rate and the voltage will drop off very quickly u need somthing around 15 - 20c as witth a heli the motor is at high rpm most of the flight anthony
