The 230s from what I have read is awesome.I have had a few small size Blade helis and had a lot of fun with them...of course I did crash them a lot but the parts are cheap and they allways have plenty available. Man you are going to have fun. Keep in mind if you get too frustrated in the beginning and you want to give it all up then settle down and get a simulator . When I got a simulator it helped me very good, and it didn't cost money to crash.Check it out its worth it and I pass it on to everyone that wants to fly helicopters. Later SS
