RE: Thinking About Getting a Helli
The Blade CX is a good indoor heli. Easy to learn and easy to fly. If you want more of an outdoor heli, I would go with the Blade CP. It's a collective pitch with tail rotor and is extremely rugged. It's not very easy to learn on but it leaves a lot of room for upgrades.
I just had my first major crash today with my BCP showing off in front of the family at Thanksgiving. Forward flight nose dive into the ground. Broke a blade in half and bent the flybar just a little. That's the only damage I had. Straightened the flybar and threw on a new set of blades and I was back in business.
