I have been considering getting into R/C helicopters for a while now and seem
to remember that some kind soul had put together a faq file on this.  Could 
they please either re-post or mail me a copy? Thanks.

What I am considering:    Shuttle ZX
			  Enya 35 bb (helo) 
			  JR 347 radio
			  gyro (not sure of brands here)

A couple of quesitons, why is the Enya engine so expensive?  (sounds dumb
but I have a couple of 40 aircraft engins which cost about half as much.)
I was told this was the only bolt in engine for this model.

I am on a bit of a budget and was wondering if it would make sense to get the
kit and start working on assembly before I get the engine?  I have the radio
already.

I have the book 'Rays Complete Helicopter Manual' and this has been getting
me real close to making the first purchase but I would like to go into this
with as much knowlege as possible.  Helicopters appear to be  MUCH more
technical machines than fixed wing craft.

Again, thanks for any info on this venture and I hope to be flying by this
summer?!?
