Default Which Heli for newbie??

Hey Guys,

I am a fixed wing pilot that is starting to entertain the thought of picking up heli's. I want to get some opinions on what heli I should look into for my first setup. I have actually had a heli a few years ago, but only did a little hovering with training gear, then ended up selling it. I have been flying heli's on realflight for a while now, can hover nose in and out, and am pretty decent at forward flight. I picked up fixed wing very quickly, and I'm sure I will do the same with heli's. If I can afford it, I'd like at least a 50 sized heli that is stable and easy enough to learn on, yet upgradeable. I get bored with my planes just flying in circles and I'm sure Id get the same way with heli's, so I want something that can be made aerobatic and possibly 3D capable down the road. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Todd
