    Collective

    Any ideas for a helicopter collective that I might buy? I'm looking for something durable yet affordable. Preferably a twist grip throttle, but without is fine.

    Thanks in advance!

    Ouch, its a shame none of the big boys like saitek have yet turned their attention to collectives and heli controls. Still those look well made, so no doubt worth the costs, just sadly outside my limited budget and limited time I spend flying our rotary friends.

    Cheap Stuff

    Hi I hope to complete my PPL with the help of this website and the great people here. But I have found a lot of stuff on Craigslist and YouTube I also find stuff about people who built stuff cheaply on YouTube.
