Trex..Trex..Trex..
Ya ya,...I second Adrianli's proposal. Trex is the way to go. A second hand optic 6 (<<$180 ) would be a good choice to start with Trex 450XL.
This heli will take you a long way.

1) Get a 2nd hand trex wif all electronics in, abt S$400 - 500

Thats the best option.
Otherwise, get the Honey Bee FP n train hard on it.Heli

Yup.. Optic 6 would be a good 2nd hand TX. Can get it usually at $180.
For electric, like they said, t-rex 2nd hand would be good.
If you're intending to go nitro, you can get a 2nd hand Raptor 30 V1 if you can find one.
Both nitro and electric has its pros and cons.. can do a search on the forums

So true, don't be mistaken by the initial cost. The running cost can also become high.
In the last 4.5 months, I have spend a total of $3.3K on this little heil.... AND ..the amount is growing by the days
