For those silly enough to do this...
To learn to fly R/C heli's you need too
1) Join a club (preferably with heli pilots!)
2) Listen to their advice...
3) Get a computer sim and use it
4) Buy a sensible heli (Raptor 30-50, concept 30 etc.)
5) Get the club heli pilots (the ones that can fly that is) to set it up.
6) You MUST fit training bars or you WILL wreck it, I did warn you.
7) Take it easy, DO NOT TURN THE THING ROUND TO FACE YOU, you WILL crash!
8) Practice practice practice till you don't have to think about what your doing. Then and only then should you think about turning it round.
9) Once you can hover facing you it’s time for small circuits getting bigger and further away over time.
It's a long hard slog. But worth it in the end, nothing can beat a heli at pure satisfaction of doing it right.

I found it easier without training bars to learn, just do it on a hard surface so it'll slide....

true you can if the surface is smooth plus your very carefull with the throttle and not inclined to panic, but I've seen so many people crash
now that I knew they would have been saved by bars (I only ever saw one come back after that).
They seemed to think there was some sort of shame in having to fit them. We all have to start somewhere. Whats the point in not fitting them and
risking it...
I still fit them now and again to play around on one or two wheels. Floats are fun aswell you can really bounce!
