Many thanks to all the people on the Ezone forums and the Ikarus BBS who have posted many

helpful messages - many of these tips were taken from these excellent discussion forums!

This was originally a "Heli FAQ" suggested by Fred Bronk, but it grew into much more than a

FAQ - so now it's called the Electric Helicopter Beginner's Guide.

This guide assumes some prior R/C experience, such as R/C planes or cars. Therefore, it

doesn't explain terms such as "servo" or the correct orientation for servo plugs, etc. If you need

these questions answered, I recommend asking in the "Beginner Training Area" on RC Groups

Be sure to check Chapter 31, Glossary if you encounter terms which you don't know, such as

swashplate, collective pitch, etc.
