sdrfgvfgvfravgdsvS...you must fly kit airplanes or RC airplanes as Enstroms and other full sized helicopters are hardly toys. They are complex flying machines that must be mastered in order to fly. It is not a car motor or rotorway. Enstroms are the finest and most powerfull turbocharged helicopter in production in the world today. Only a small percentage of pilots ever try to fly helicopters because of the expense and difficulty. Toys are for children and these are hardly toys.

A toy with an expensive price tag. This is the most powerfull non turbine helicopter in production today. Way heavier and more powerfull than an R22, not as fast as an R44 but better rate of climb and payload. This helicopter is perfect for hot, high and heavy uses.
