    What do you guys think. I currently fly electrics. Was thinking about Nitro. Just because, no other reason.

    My question is should a person who is not that mechanically minded (motor wise) consider a Nitro heli?

    What different skills and tools are required to build and maintain a nitro?
    What are the pros and cons of Nitro vs Elec?

    Interested in people's thoughts and experiences.

      Nothing wrong with staring at something before you play with it

      It's difinitely a great feeling being able to let the smoke out of something and not rooting it in the process!

      I have a YS60 in the N5c and it is super creamy powerful, can't go wrong mate, btw, I did a teabag today on the G4, I was doing aileron tic tocs and the tail decided to let go and do a 360, I didn't crash, but landed soon after to try and trace the issue, it looked good thought! (I didn't do it on purpose - I am not that good)
