- I have been considering getting into R/C helicopters for a while now and seem
- to remember that some kind soul had put together a faq file on this. Could
- they please either re-post or mail me a copy? Thanks.
-
- What I am considering: Shuttle ZX
- Enya 35 bb (helo)
- JR 347 radio
- gyro (not sure of brands here)
-
- A couple of quesitons, why is the Enya engine so expensive? (sounds dumb
- but I have a couple of 40 aircraft engins which cost about half as much.)
- I was told this was the only bolt in engine for this model.
-
- I am on a bit of a budget and was wondering if it would make sense to get the
- kit and start working on assembly before I get the engine? I have the radio
- already.
-
- I have the book 'Rays Complete Helicopter Manual' and this has been getting
- me real close to making the first purchase but I would like to go into this
- with as much knowlege as possible. Helicopters appear to be MUCH more
- technical machines than fixed wing craft.
-
- Again, thanks for any info on this venture and I hope to be flying by this
- summer?!?
