get yourself a chopper, either a walkera genius CP or mini CP (I would get the the mini cp), they are tame to learn how to hover, and can do 3d when your ready, they can take lots of abuse without breaking.

get some spare landing gear, tail booms and a extra canopy, and put a cut in the servo horns to prevent them from stripping, FUN!!!

also, the team associated MGT 8.0 is LOADS of fun, its so loud, so smokey, and so frigging powerful its such a blast! I was board with MT's till I got mine, now I have a hard time not putting gas in it every time I look at it.
