I went electric at first also but spent a considerable amount of time on a simulator to learn control first
I have owned every MS flight sim since flight sim 98. I already know all the principals of collective pitch and sutch.

To be honest, I don't see why you don't want to do "all that upside down stuff", yet you still want full control. Do you mean up, down, forward, backward, left and right? or do you mean upside down?
Quite honestly I can't see what the big deal is in going upside down. I don't know about you, but I have never seeen a real heli do that. Maby at an air show or something, but not one I have been too. What I want is fuul control, for every direction the real thing can do. Flying the sims with a colective, and then going fixed would be a bit disapointing to me, and wouldn't be as fun.

Then I think you should drop the camera requirement.
WElllll there was another reason for that. I have a good size area of land, and with one of my other problems of not being able to get around well due to joint probs I wanted a way to watch my dogs while they were outside. Something like setting up a few of those cheap small plastic tables around to land on so the camera could see the dogs withought having to sit there wasting power hovering. I already tried to do this with a car, but you can imagin how well that went Something like a heli I can get out of there reach easy if needed. Long story short the heli will be used as a tool as well as for fun.
