RE: need some help on a decision
As a plane pilot who's now learning helis, I can second the suggestions both to stay away from mini collective pitch helis and to stick with a coaxial. Any CP heli, even the bigger ones, will last about 10 seconds in the hands of an inexperienced pilot on a good day. If you can get some training and are disciplined enough to listen and learn, you will probably do fine with one though. That generally means joining a club and from your posts in the beginner plane forum I know you don't want to do that. You'll likely spend 5 times the money that an AMA membership and club dues will cost you before quitting if you try to fly CP helicopters alone though. The little skyfly airplane is a better choice if you just want to open the box and fly. It's like the coaxial helicopter of airplanes.
