Michael,
I've been using Heli-x on an iMac for a few weeks and find it to be very helpful in my learning process.
Are there plans to provide more coaxial helis for us newbees?
Thank you.

Re: New Coaxial
Hi
Dunno about overall plans, but building some models and being a beginner too I personally don't quite see the need for more coaxials. They are helpful to accquire the basic skills (where differences in models are hardly relevant) - especially in reality to keep damages and cost low to start. In a simulator though you can very quickly progress directly to a fixed pitch heli.
Personally I think the perfect next step are the multicopters in stabilized ACC mode (since stability is mainly what sets coaxials apart from other helis): More agility and maneuverability than a coaxial but still stabilized to not flip and crash as quickly as a real heli...
If you still want a specific coax heli of course you can make a suggestion to add it to the wishlist ...maybe eventually being built if it reaches priority over other models on that list
.
