It has to do with the oil mix Rc car fuel takes less oil mix than a heli would for cooling the engine

Oh yeah I forgot you didn't have fuel, does fuel work out cheaper than batteries out of curiosity?

Weather is crap here too, gales at the moment... I'm waiting to maiden my heli too

Well that depends on what you fly I guess LOL
Like My 550 were one pack cost 140.00
30.00 a gallon for nitro fuel that will get you about 15 flights
Biggest thing is the nitro will fly long than a battery

In the end fuel is a cost that never goes away. So is it cheaper, not really. Batteries may give you 100 -200 cycles unless you don't take care of them.

Thanks for that info Jesse, I'm really ignorant when it comes to fuelled helis, the biggest lipo I've ever bought is a 3S... Lol, and they are dirt cheap at HK, wow 140 bucks for a lipo, I can get 20 for that price....lol
