Thanks for the great tips on the batteries. This will help me keep my costs down and enjoy more flight time.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Just my comment on zippies. They seem to be excellent lipos. I have had great success with them.
By the way, Hobby King and HobbyCity are the same, had me worried on my first order.
You are ordering from HongKong but comminucations with them is great. I screwed up an order with them, went to their live chat, had the problem fixed in minutes. Delivery has always been quick. 4-5 days if you use EMS (a little pricey but when you want it fast).

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Sweetness. I think I'm going to with zippy's. The charger I'm still up in the air about. I've heard great reviews with both, more negatives with 610 but I have friends that say they've had great success with them. I think I'm going to put the charger on back burner for now, and figure out a good tool set! I would like to get all the tools I'll ever need for a 500, 600N. I suspect though it will be extremely pricey.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		keep an eye out here, some great deals to be had on 600n! tools will work on both electric and nitro birds, just make sure to buy quality once. i bought cheap, and bought twice.
theres nothing wrong with the 610. they had some issues when they first came out, but after that, everyone i know that has one is satisfied. they even have quality customer service. but, since there is a chance you will have multiple batteries, look for a charger that will do 2 6s packs at once. that will cost ya.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		LOL......I'll look into a dual charger. I know in the long run it'll be in my best interest. I have seen the great deals on 600n birds lately. Of course now I'm thinking about buy another one, just because I can right now. hehehe! But I'm sure I'll hold off due to I want to get tools, chargers, batteries, case, and my DX12. *cough* hehehehe *cough*

How do you know a chargers can do multiple batteries?

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Tools for most RC Heli's

Are the tools/screws always the same size until you get to scale? ie 500, 600N, and 700N.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		No....I haven't flown mine yet. I'm hit the RealFlight G4.5 HARD...well trying too...before I take it out. I just purchased some training gear, so I figured buy that time, it will be almost a month of using the sim, and I would give it a try then. Atleast hoving. hehehehe. I still can't TECHNICALLY fly yet. LOL! I'll have to remember the battery thing. I just bought one so far so I could take her up for a bit. I'll be getting 3 or 4 when I get better. Also the charger I want is OUT OF FRIGG'N STOCK. Hobby City website says they won't have it in until mid May so I've got time. Go figure right? You flying? You use a sim before hand? How did you use your sim for before taking your bird up?
