I bought the blade cx and loved it for the indoor flight aspect.
Two problems though.. one is I out grew it in one week, I live just north of Dallas and it is way way too windy here to take a small electric heli outside like the blade.
I bought a 200.00 sim.. the G3 and just finished "building" a .30 scale Venture this week.

For my money I would skip the small beginner heli for 200.00 bucks and buy a sim and then invest 1000.00 or so into a beginner larger outdoor helicopter.

If you think you might not be into this for the long haul then by all means buy the blade, it is awesome for indoor fun and easy to fix, but long term it is too small and limited.
