Unfortunately there is a gulf in price between entry level heli's like the Blade CP/CX and the Trex/X400. A decent Trex/X400 will run at least $450 setup with decent electronics. The difference is performance. I have a Blade CP. I can hover and fly around a bit but it is extremely unstable compared to the X400. A correctly setup Trex/X400 will be much easier to learn on than a Blade CP. Despite the video of the Blade CX I wouldn't go for it. It is limited to what you saw in the video. Thats it. I can already do that with my CP or the X400. The nice thing about a Trex/X400 is they can grow with your skills, completely upgradeable and cost about the same as a Blade to repair after a crash. The Blade is very tough by comparison but it needs to be, you will crash more with it. I get frustrated flying the Blade as almost every flight session ends needing some sort of small repair. The X400 I might have to repair something every 10 flights or so. So the recommendation is save a little more money and get a better heli to start with. You will be ahead in the long run. RT
