Here is my choice. I had never flown and wanted to. so i decided on the aligntrex 450 plus dfc. I took 2 weeks researching and figuring out the control and trying ground moves. then i took it into a gym and got the nerve to pop it up and everything smoothed out and came together. In 3 days and a total of 11 12 minute flights I can do the square circuit and 20 feet circles. Go slow and don't get ballsy and you'll figure things out. I have no sim time. All my learning comes from the heli and
www.rchelicopterfun.com and from John Salt's e-books and 10 day online course. I'm hooked.
