Corona online?
I want to buy a corona for my first heli... I already have a futaba radio (for my rc planes). I've been looking and I'm having trouble finding a place that sells the corona online (looking for a pagage deal w/o radio). I was going to get a nitro raptor 30 v2 but I watched a nitro copter on tv today and it was a bit intimidating to me. I was hoping a nice eheli would be better to start (or stick with). Can anyone help? Thanks!

Corona online?
I have a few more questions. Seems from reading other post it would be better to buy the basic kit and get the rest of the parts from other manufacturs... I also found somewhere here or rcgroups a place called www.roffeetvhobby.com seems to be the place to buy the basic kit. Here is my situation. I don't know if what I have is useless or not for a corona. I have a couple things from a eplane that might work but couldn't find any info in many searches. I have a bunch of deans ultra connectors, Fut 6xa tx, and 3 GWS Pico BB servos. I'm guessing the servos is a no no. But I'm really confused as to all the detailed parts I need to get in the air like what battery and charger and additional acc (glues etc). Do I just need to contact roffee and ask what I need or should I buy from like 5 different places based on the searches?

Depending on your Budget, here's the ideal set up:
Basic Kit-
-Hitec hs 81 servos, metal gear for cyclic, plastic gears for tail ok. (You'd have to modify the crutch to use your Pico servos, I would definitely not recommend using those)
www.servocity.com has free shipping
-Kyosho Atomic Force motor, Roffeetv should have in stock, if not towerhobbies has for $20
-35amp, esc, Castle Creations, Pegasus 35 is probably best for price, Roffetv may have these also.
-Futaba gy240 Gyro is a great entry level hh gyro www.helihut.com has for $95+shipping.
You'll just need some thin and thick CA glue, maybe some spray can paint for the crutch, if you go with a brushed motor, paint it black otherwise you'll get stains from the brushes with a light color. Other than that, basic tools and a metric ruler. (Dremel, if you go with the gy240, you'll need to make a gyro bed, really easy. JR voyager e landing gear is really nice too.)
If your budget allows go straight to brushless Most inexpensive will probably be a Mega 16/5/3 set up (about $160 or so) next, Astro Flight 020 (more power) set up, about $200.
Your radio will be just fine.
And you'll need 7 cell packs, connectors
