    Blade msr and trex 100 are both A good introduction to rc helicopters and it's easy to parts for both, then there's the blade mcpx which is a little bit bigger and harder to fly due to it being a CP helicopter, but it's quite durable, and parts are cheap.

    mSR or mCPX. I'm a big fan of the blade heli range. Try bladehelispares.co.uk they seem to be competitive on price and give good advice.

    definately not a Synergy unless you have the bank balance of a dragon. MSR would be a good choice
