If you prefer military RC Helicopter. RC Planes are nice in that they're much more relaxing to fly than a RC Helicopter but the coordination you learn from flying RC planes is not so useful when flying RC Helicopters that it warrants buying a whole airplane first. For those who have heard this for the first time you should realize that you only require standard parts from an auto parts and hardware store to create a helicopter (that can really fly).
The O.S. .32 SXH runs at a peak power RPM of around 18000 RPM with 1.2 horsepower while the 60 size engines can make 2 to 3 h.p!. Practice in a little more wind... wind really makes a 30 size jump around be on top of it! Practice controlled flight. Try to make the RC Helicopter go exactly where you want it to.

Spare parts; The basic formula is the cheaper the helicopter the cheaper the spares and the lighter the helicopter the less crash damage you will incur.
Can you learn to fly on your own RC Helicopter? The answer is yes with enough patients and if you are very careful when putting the RC Helicopter together. I recommend two thing for sure. Turn the rudder trim half way off center so that the heli is doing a complete 360 once every 2 seconds or so. Do not touch the rudder now! Only use the collective. Try and slowly fly around without touching the rudder to do this you need to continually be adjusting the cyclic since the helicopter will always be pointing in different directions. You try it on your own remote control RC Helicopter and find out to your frustration that it is not simple after all.
