real2you  is right the little 250 is  very quick i have the exi clone  i have the exi 450  a blade 400 and a trex 600  i just got the trex and still checking pitch etc but i can tell you there is a big differance between the 250s and 450's  all the training gears do is to help you not tip when trying to take off and you can get it light without getting it in the air and travel around  but there again after you remove them the extra weight is gone and it flies just a tad different . plain and simple you will wreck it happens to the best of them its best to get a flight sim and practice and maybe have some1 else nearby that has some experience that can make sure the swash etc etc is setup correctly  and you need to know how to repair it when you do crash
