Which first CP heli ?

[bburton]

I recently resurrected my Walkera 4#3B that had been packed away for moving house and I have got the bug again !

I now have a hankering to try a CP heli, but which should I get ?

Small is better. Something like the Blade MCPX, or is that a silly idea ?

Hi buddy, mcpx is a good idea - but if you want to get the best out of it get a dx6i tx and buy it bnf; the dx6i will run Phoenix and bigger helis when the bug bites harder
Phoenix is the cheapest way to learn because those mishaps (dumb thumbs) don't hit the pocket; not a replacement for the real thing but good preparation for it.
Go for it and enjoy

+1 agree. Sim and mcpx are great to progress and try new things without hitting to pocket too much.

+1 on the above - MCPX is cheap to repair!!

agreed on the mcpx, its cheap to fly, its also difficult, so if you master that, you can easilly fly a larger heli.

Thanks for the comments. Need to get my decision making head on and look at the bank balance
