the more you read, the more you find. for me, the blade at this price seems the way to go. i've researched like mad, contemplated a trex 450 sport or an interceptor 400 from chopperaddict (with alien command) or a mini titan.
yeah the blade seems to get a bit of a hammering but i've yet to find another heli with as much support when it comes to fixing and setting up. I don't even have one yet but i've had a good look at the build and set up vids. i like the fact that i'm getting into something where there is so much info and no stone left unturned (the positives seem to outweigh the negatives). i'm pretty sure you could say that if it happens to your heli then it's happened to hundreds of others.
i'm under no illusion that i'll crash lots, strip servos and probably wish i'd brought the trex but i'm getting into this on a tight budget for now. £200 quid to get me going + a decent charger and a couple of li-po's seems the best way. even if i junk the blade then it's cost me 70 quid and i've a decent tx/rx to take onwards and may be other bits because you have to upgrade..... don't you?
you can read and read and research and ask questions 'til your blue in the face. i often find an answer i'm looking for and then it'll be swiftly followed by someone coming along and rubbishing it. i've often been right at the point where i'm ready to buy and something in my head goes whoa boy, hold on a sec. i'm sure you've all been in my position. i don't know how we ever got along without forums. i'm finally ready to jump in with both feet (my usual style). i think.... better to regret than not have a crack eh?
i've promised myself that i'll have a crack at radds school of flight, with a bit of luck i'll be able to say i've cycled a few li-po's before i bin it for the first time.
the guy at my local shop was really good. took a lot of time to go through things and went straight to the blade. the skeptic might say is that brand loyalty, maximum sales margin or just honestly the right place to start. at the end of the day it's not life and death, it's a punt, a few hundred quid to have a go at something new to try, who knows, i may not even get on with it. that's why, for me a dx7 and a trex at £600+ may be a bit more of a bitter pill if we don't get on.
support me now please gents. i'm thisclose to becomming the newist heli pilot (crasher) on the block!
cheers

the blade dx6i combo is a brilliant way to begin in this hobby. keep the motor and reciever and change to what i have in my signature. you can't go wrong. any info you want on a blade 400 is easily found by googling blade 400 bible. or by sending me a message. i have a 600 but i will never sell the blade because it is such fun with a surprising amount of performance and stability in wind..... with mentioned upgrades of course. you can take it anywhere and fly it with common sense and you will always gather a crowd :-) ( i like that bit ) get a few extra lipo's....2200 mah zippy's are good, an extra charger and you gat a brilliant platform to improve your flyin with minimum outlay and maximum fun. if you wanna go fly then pm and we can fly at my club or somewhere to suit.
