Hi there.
I am thinking of getting into helicopters after learning on planes. I am interested in a blade 230s as they were recommended by a friend as a good starting point.
I have 3s 2200 lipos already. Will they fit a blade 230s or will I have to get more batteries and how much are they?
Also would you agree that this is a good starter heli for outdoors or would there be others I should consider?
Regards
Dave

The 230S is challenging - but in a good way. It would be fine for a novice if you have some sticktime on a simulator and are prepared to put in some hours - it'll grow with you.
2200s are too big - these take around 800/850mah batteries eg SPMX8503S30

Asked by John Spallen on 18th March 2023
This is a BNF ( bind and fly ) helicopter so it does not come with a transmitter .
