Yup! I have used them for quite a bit of stuff, very helpfull on the phone and nice people,
although there are better/cheaper places to shop in the UK online

Examples:

https://secure.electricrotors.co.uk/

Of course there are many others and it depends what you want as to which might be the cheapest but I have used all ot these with no problems in the past.

And as the rest have said, it can take quite a while to progress into forward flight and aerobatics, just keep practicing
