Hi guys,
For a long while I have wanted to get into the hobby, and after watching lots of instructional and review vids on youtube, as well as some other research, I think I am ready to make my first purchase.
I've looked at whats available locally and in my price range, and have narrowed it down to 2 different packages:
HobbyKing Bix3 Trainer ready to fly package
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store..._Fly_.html
or
HobbyZone Delta Ray ready to RTF
http://www.modelflight.com.au/planes/tra...ode-1.html
I am leaning towards the Bix3 as I didn't really want to spend over $200 on my trainer, but it seems the Delta Ray comes with a better transmitter (Spektrum DX4) and I like the idea of the whole SAFE system, as I doubt I could get to a club, and don't have any experienced pilots to supervise/rescue me.
What do you guys think about those models for a beginner?
Also, I would like to mount a camera to record video, and later implement a FPV goggle setup after i develop my skills and my budget allows. I know the Bix3 is FPV capable, how about the Delta Ray?
Oh and If you guys know of any other good models that fall into this category that I can order online locally, please let me know.
Cheers
Kevin
