You might consider spending @ $125 on a small Co-Axial type such as an E-FliteBlade MCX2 or the twin rotor Rescue Heli. I too want to get into bigger helis as soon as reasonable but just one crash and it will easily cost more than ones of these little guys. I was steered into this direction by some great 3D heli pilots and I'm having super fun and a steep learning curve. Works well with my simulator as I amgoing back and forth from my actual simple little co-axials to collective helis on thesimulator. Just a thought. Besides, it is darn cold outside now and any time I want I can get out my little micro and buzz around the den.
