The Sceadu has been the best 30-50 sized heli I have owned over the years. It is super stable for learning and setup is not that all complicated. I had a friend of mine start on a Raptor due to crash cost being cheaper and then he picked up one of my Sceadus. He quickly sold the Raptor and is now in forward flight and basic aerobatics with not a single crash yet. The best investment is to get a good sim and practice on it for a good amount of time.
