mine is electric, that green thing there on the front is a 2200mah lithium polymer battery , i can fly for about 8-10 min on one battery depending on how hard i am pushing the helicopter, electric is so powerful now a days they only the really big ones use the nitro fuel, those nitro birds have some kind of fuel cell on the side, i dont now exactly how they work, nitro fuel is expensive, dirty and they are very noisy, due to that you can get some of the larger ones in electric now also but the battery might cost you 250 bucks... the bigger the helicopter the better it flies, longer blades = much more stability in the air. the one in the video of the professional guy flying is a t-rex 700 nitro, i think its about 4 foot long from nose to tail, my biggest one is 30 inches from nose to tail...

every piece on the helicopter is replaceable. most pieces cost 1.50 to 3 bucks a piece. if you crash on grass and if you can hit the kill switch to shut down the motor as soon as you realize its gong down the damage will be minimal, if the blades go in to the groud spinning at full force you will have a big repair bill. in my crash pictured i cut power to mine just as the blades hit the ground so that caused more damage than usual, i thought i was going to save it but one of the electronic pieces died in flight so there was no way to save it from crashing, i had no idea it had died till i fiexd it all up and the tail started spinning out of control as soon as i spooled the blades up, i realized than that my gyro was dead and purchased a quality one. this a a inexpensive one with bottom of the line electroncs, but itcan be upgrade to be a extremely good flying bird, when it is all said and done after upgrades you probably will have still spend less money that buying a high quality one and it will be just as good or better...

the blades on these thing spin around 2500 rpm and some helicopters have a even higher head speed than that. if you get hit by one its not going to be pretty at all.. people have been slashed to pieces with these things, on the helicopter forums under the safety threads you wold be amazed at some of the gory pictures posted..... you never want to fly one around people that do not under stand the risk of being in the same area as the helicopter, whe i go flying it is just me and the other heli pilots, if some one happens to show up out of no where who ever is flying shold land the bird asap and wait for the person to pass threw.

2 months ago this is all i could do, after 3 days of crashing and crashing i finally got the hang of it. the smaller one i have is very durable, some times you crash it and nothing breaks if you get a good set of carbon fiber blades, the wood one break on impact...
