Our club members are frequently asked by beginners about what equipment to purchase. Since the Colorado Rotor-Heads as a club cannot expressly endorse nor disagree with recommendations to buy specific items, we offer this page as a resource. Some of our club members have compiled their own preferences and opinions, necessary items to purchase, and tips for beginners starting in the rc copter hobby, as listed below.
