The blade is the only heli I own, from my experience with planes a larger copter might help, but the expense will probably be up around $1000, one small crash and you're probably looking at $150 and a lot of time. I'm going to try the Blade CX when it comes out, the little Lama's also have good reports as well. The heli's are enticing and good pilots make it look easy, but like anything else, ask them and they have paid their dues in practicing,building, and repairing, same as the airplane hobby. Heli flying business is not like tooling around RC cars, like some have made it sound like.
