I'm giving very serious thought to purchaseing an electric heli just as a summer-time distraction from my RC Touring Car. The local hobby shop demoed a Blade CX for me last week and it looked way cool so...now I guess I need a helicopter
The thing I'm struggling with the most is that I'll be flying almost exclusively outside, probably in my back yard and I question whether something as small as a Blade CX (or a Hummingbird) will be table outside if there is any wind at all (and there's almost always wind). Are Micros really viable as outdoor helis or do I need to buy something bigger in order to really have fun? I saw an LHM Corona for sale and wondered if something that size would be more appropriate but also wondered if that would be biting off to much as a starter heli.
As long as I'm posting, is the Blade CX a good place to start or will I just want to buy something better in a couple months after I get the hang of the Blade? Having always tried to remain as firmly planted on the ground as possible with my RC Car this whole RC flight thing is very foireign to me so I'm not at all sure how good I'll be at it or how deep into the hobby I'm going to want to jump.
Any advice would be appreciated.
