When your looking for an RC Helicopter it is very important to consider the after sales support, such as the availably of spare parts and technical support.
Here at RcMods we keep large stocks of spare parts and try to keep all parts in stock at all times. We also provide one of the best after sales support programs in the model industry.
There are many ways to get in to the hobby, for example some people start with a basic 4 channel indoor model which is very stable and allows you to learn the basics and then progress to 6 channel models. Whereas some people like a bigger challenge and jump straight in with the more powerful advanced 6 channel models. This guide should help you decide the best route for yourself.
