True guys, but you've got to remember that most folks don't know any better. They're interested in helis and want to try them, so they buy what's readily available. That's how I got into this - via Syma 3-channel toys.

I see these toys as (potentially) a cheap way to attract people into the hobby. If they truly are interested (as I was), they will progress onto 4 and 6 channel helis in due course. I think that the more support you give people - at all stages of his hobby (yes, including these toys ) - the more people we will attract to progress.

That said, looks like (from his sig) that the OP - Ryan is already looking to progress!

@RYAN CAIRNS That all said - Double Horse helis aren't really designed to be fixable in modular components, so doubt you'll have much luck with that I'm afraid!

I did actually start off with a couple of syama coaxials. Although at the time I was just getting back into flying planks after a 12 year lay off and wasn't actually looking to get it into helis. The one that really got me into helis was a little 50 quid "Ev. 04 pro" from tamco.

In your shoes I would be looking at a 500, crash costs are a lot less than a 600 and they will take a bit of wind.
I've come back to helis after over a year of flying fixed wing - I've started by going for a quad which is a bit like flying a fixed pitch heli but more interesting because you can flip them easier than a fixed pitch heli and they cost less to build.
I hope in the not too distant future to be getting a 500 but will probably go down this route:
Gootch 500 Review - costs quite a bit less and is very good quality, well worth looking at - plenty of money left for crash repairs!!
