    What would be the best one to get for someone who loves to impulse buy gadgets and has no remote flying experience whatsoever?

    • Nitr0 on 11/09/2014 - 14:34

      The cheapest one. You'll crash it, alot.

      EDIT: The contra rotating models (the ones with 2 sets of main rotor blades) are pretty easy to fly, and cheap.
      Then you step up to the flybar ones and start buying spare parts =P

    • Store RepModecom @ HeliMate on 11/09/2014 - 14:40

      Nitr0 is correct. I would start with a "coaxial" model which has the 2 sets. They are more stable than the single blades/quads.

      take a look at the hornet with sky crane. Dont use the crane when you first start, but once you get good at flying, start using it then. Lots of fun. But ignore it whilst learning to fly!

        The Hornet seems to be infrared. Will this work well outdoors?

      You will need a special quadcopter for this. We dont have these in our stores but the best ones are

      • DJI Phantom(very expensive but most reliable)
      • CX-20 I really like this one but we havent stocked because a few production batches had issues
      • V303 seeker: We will stock this once they iron out all the issues from first 3 batches.

    • Store RepModecom @ HeliMate on 11/09/2014 - 16:25

      Hi nfr,

      There is a couple of suitable options for a beginner:

      Double Horse 9118 or Avatar 711 (These are my 2 picks)

      Both are on 2.4ghz remote and are coaxials, so you will be able to learn on them.

      If you can fly somewhere with no wind, then you could consider the 134cm juggernaut or 121cm fire eagle. But if your place is windy, I would avoid these and stick the 9118 or Avatar 711.

      Hope that helps, let me know if you have more questions

      Hi mshannon,

      All of these models are suitable if there is no wind. Whilst the 134cm juggernaut is an awesome size, I think its a bit cumbersome to be honest. I really like the Double Horse 9118 because its size is ideal and it has the 2.4ghz remote. All the others are on 27mhz or 40mhz which is less quality.

      Id recommend the Double horse 9118 overall.

    • Store RepModecom @ HeliMate on 11/09/2014 - 17:19

      Hi Biggles,

      Its very easy since its a "coaxial" helicopter with the 2 sets of blades. This makes it very stable.

      It also has 2.4ghz remote which is the best quality.

      Having said that, its got a fair bit of power but suitable for a beginner if they are patient.

    How does the Double Horse fly without making mods to it as per some of the
    amazon reviews

    • Store RepModecom @ HeliMate on 11/09/2014 - 17:21

      Hi Dan,

      The mods actually work great, we did it on the old 9053 model. Out of the box, it will be more stable, so you get less forward speed. When they make the mods, its actually removing some of the stability, so its able to go faster forward.

      Another good trick is to add weight to the nose. Bluetac and a coin works great, it makes the 9118 much faster.

      For purely indoor flying, the ladybug is the best. It very precise for indoors and you can do flips etc.

    • Store RepModecom @ HeliMate on 11/09/2014 - 17:29

      Hi pacman21,

      The battery will last anywhere from 6-10mins per charge. That part is dependent on the aggression of the flying.

      For the number of recharges for the lifetime, thats dependent on the care you take with the battery. If looked after, you can recharge it 100s of times. The main thing is dont overdischarge the battery. ie - when it doesnt fly anymore, dont get spinning the blades, let the battery cool, then recharge 5mins later.

      Hope that answers your question.

  • 1Dollar on 11/09/2014 - 17:22

    Is this V933 Skylark Helicopter any good. I had experience with 4 channel helicopters like Double Horse 9116 and I want a 6 channel. From the pictures it looks kinda flimsy

    • Store RepModecom @ HeliMate on 11/09/2014 - 17:32

      Hi abra,

      It's actually made from aircraft grade materials but yes its very small and it certainly appears flimsy, I agree.

      Its a good bridging helicopter for those going from the 4 channel such as the 9116 to a 6channel helicopter. Rather than spending the big bucks on an expensive 6channel and stacking it first go. Thats my opinion on this helicopter anyhow - bridges the gap between 4ch and big 6ch helis.

    • Store RepModecom @ HeliMate on 11/09/2014 - 18:07

      Hi Dosada,

      Whilst its not fun flying ANY rc helicopter in the wind, the best option is either a high powered expensive single blade helicopter…..or for the rest of us, there is quadcopters. Quads can handle the wind and are really fast. You get some forgiveness for a wild pilot too since they have good stability

  • jikijiki on 11/09/2014 - 18:34

    Never flown an RC helicopter before but generally speaking and assuming that I'm not dropping the unit from 100m+, do crashes only lead to broken blades/ replaceable parts and not the main body?

    Buying replacement parts for the rotor blades and the like are fine, but I'd hate to have to buy an entire new helicopter.

    • Store RepModecom @ HeliMate on 11/09/2014 - 18:39

      Hi jikijiki,

      It certainly depends on how hard its crashed. In MOST cases the blades get damaged and they need replacing.

      I have found through years of selling helis that Quadcopters get the least damage from crashing, they really stand up to it. Each blade and boom is independent of the others, so if you break something its easy to fix and only that "quarter" of the heli will need fixing.

      For the traditional coaxials, if you expect to crash, get something smaller and not the bigger ones.

      My personal recommendation would be a quadcopter for you

      It's not fair to compare local stocks with overseas stocks. You do need to factor in the benefits of getting local stocks.

      For example:

      1. You will get the product heaps quicker. I.e. 3-4 weeks vs 1-5 days
      2. You'll get a warranty from an established Australian business
      3. You will get more adequate customer support

      I'm sure they are here to make money but at a smaller profit margin.
