hi all...
if you want to get a great performer and still have a heli that you can get parts for readily and cheaply and still easy to fly with very few vices then i can recomened all of the raptor sizes..
i fly vario and graupner helis too which are great but harder to get bits for and more expensive.. the general rule of thumb is bigger means more stable in hover and wind but bigger means more expensive ofcause. but if you wallet can cope with that then why not !
i probably would still recommend you get a raptor 30 still but saying that i learned on a 60 size so go for what ever is best for you !
which ever heli you get ,raptor or not then happy flying ,,
