Don't know about Vista for running FMS. Take a look at the super-stick at the top of the Belt-CP forum for some great set up vids.

Cool things about rc helicopters:

Brushless motors! Don't get a collective pitch heli without one! This is why the BeltCP is a better choice than the King II.

LiPO batteries! You will need a ch ...

The King II is a real trial-by-fire heli-pilot and heli-mechanic crash coarse.

It is pretty true that if you can fly the King, you will be able to fly any other heli.

Belt CP is bigger 450 size. Much easier to fly. If you must buy an Esky starter package, then the 450 size is a better option for learning.

If you want a smaller, more difficult to fly heli, perh ...

A little outdated, but here is a guide I wrote.

Skip breaking in the stock motor and just get a brushless motor/ESC instead. Also, the plastic blades are not worth it IMO. Hard landing will smas ...
