Default Lite Machines Heli's?

Thanks for coming! As far as the lmh, I have had two and have one left, they are fun, but are a little different than the larger heli's being fixed pitch, but are a very good learning heli! my 13 year old brother can hover it now! They are very tough, I tried to do a roll once, was pretty high, not high enough but anyway, was going as fast as it could tried to roll and it went straight into the ground, bounced, pretty hard crash, I figured it had alot of damage, all it took was another mainshaft which I make myself and the canopy had a little damage and it broke the little piece off the crutch that the landing gear hooks to, I had it going the next day with a little glue and another shaft.
Awesome little birds! Once you can fly one of them larger ones would be no problem, the forward flight is a little odd as everyone I have flown wanted to pitch up pretty good but its still a great learning heli. BUT, by the time you get it all ready to run, unless you get a used one, your not a long ways off from a larger heli that will probably go farther down the learning curve once you want to do aerobatics and such.
All in all I would recommend one to anyone, they are alot of fun!
