Best Radio Control Electric Helicopter

Radio Controlled Helicopters?
Hi,
Can anyone advise whats the best Radio Controlled Helicopter to buy i.e fuel or electric.
There are many factors that might indicate that which is better for you.
One is budget. What is your budget? There are many small electric helis available for less money than you can get better nitro powered helis.
Another is flying area. Small electrics can be flown indoors. Other electrics can be flown in back yards or local parks. Large electrics and nitro powered helis require an RC club field or some place to fly away from people.
RC experience and support equipment. If you already fly nitro powered planes, then you already have a lot of gear for a nitro heli. Something to consider.
For a better understanding of the pros and cons of each, read up on the dedicated RC Heli forums.

Read a lot. Ask a lot of questions.
Consider going to your local hobby shop and trying out their RC flight simulator. This is a BIG boost in climbing the very steep learning curve that RC helis present.
