Advice for buying complete set of golf clubs?

I'm in my early 20's and wanted to start getting more serious about playing golf. I've played 5 or 6 times in the past couple of years and I'm tired of paying to rent clubs. I'm looking to buy a decent complete set of clubs but don't know where to start, what brand, sizes, and how to get a good deal. I'm a lefty so it is a little more challenging.

I'm six feet tall or so and wondered if club lengths and sizes were pretty standard unless you are really tall or really short? Brands I've looked at was the Top Flite XL 5000, Adams Tight Lies, or Wilson of some kind. My range is $200 to $400.

Thanks for your help!

If this is your first set of clubs, don't be concerned with a certain brand. It is more important to get clubs that are suited for your height. Start off with just an off brand set. You can usually get them for between $100-200 and they usually come with a bag as well. Test out some different clubs and find one's with a good grip, then once you've found one's your comfortable with, get them sized accordingly for your height. I have been golfing for 15 years now, and I have never bought a big expensive brand name set of clubs. It's more important that you're comfortable swinging them then who the manufacturer is.
Good luck and happy hunting!

Coaxial radio controlled model helicopters are an ideal introduction to rc helicopter flying gue to their stability and slow responsiveness. This makes them far easier to master than the traditional single rotor / tail rotor counterparts. With a bit of practice they are stable enough to be flow indoors in a confined space so your can
practice anywhere.

A conventional rc helicopter has a single rotor and a tail rotor to control yaw ie the direction in which the helicopter is pointing. A  coaxial helicopter however has two rotors on top of the helicopter and no tail rotor. These rotor rotate in opposite directions and the torque generated by each rotor cancels the other one. This results in extremely stable hovering. Yaw is controlled by adjusting the speed of one of the two rotors. Coaxial helicopters are available in 2, 3 and 4 channel versions. We would recommend a 4 channel coaxial helicopter as this provides for controls pitch, bank, throttle, and yaw.

Coaxial helicopters have a number of advantges and disadvantages.

Advantages include
- easier setup due to them requiring no gyro.
- cheaper since less electronics are required.
- very stable in the hover making them ideal for orientation practice.
- most are available ready to fly requiring no building or setup.
- generally they are very tough and can survive crashes well.

Disadvantages
- the motors need to be evenly matched so the torque generated by each rotor is similar.
- very slow and unresponsive. Getting them to move from the hover can require quite violent stick movements !
- at extreme cyclic throws the rotors can clash causing a crash

Generally coaxial radio controlled helicopters are small in size ranging from 3 inch rotor spans up to about 15 inch. Whilst some coaxial helicopters can be considered nothing more than toys some of the better 4 channel models from companies such as ESky and E-Flite are an excellent introduction to the world of radio controlled model helicopter flying.
