New to nitro helis

[aeromechanic]

What's the best model and size to start flying nitro? I feel inclined towards the Raptor .30
size. I have afew electric helis, but I know that nitro is a different whole story.
any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

If you're already proficient at electric heli's, I'd recommend at least a 50. They've got a lot better power/weight ratio than the 30's and parts are very comparably priced. You may outgrow a 30 sooner than you think. If you're just a casual sport flyer, a 30 would be fine but if you're looking to advance your skills you'll like the 50 (or bigger) better.
