Rafael, no need to apologize.

You're right, I'm a newbie. That much is true.

Thus far, my r/c heli experience has been limited to mSr and a 120 SR.

I was planning on getting a Blade 400 next, though I can't still get it out of my head that wind impedes my learning from advancing. I wanted something heavier and "wind resistant", hence, my "love" for a t rex 550.

This is why a post my question here, to get opinions from the pros. In your's, what so complicated about a FBL machine that requires experience?

Exactly what does FBL entails?

BTW, totally off topic, but, I used to be stationed in Ft. Riley in the early 80's. You in the military as well?
Thanks for replying.
