Hi,

I"m new to RC Helicopters and would like to purchase my first heli. I was originally going to get a Blade CP but this weekend I went to a Heli meet in my area and the T-rex's seemed very stable. Much more than the CP's. Everyone I spoke with said the T-rex's are easier to fly than a CP. I'm not 100% sure if I'll bypass the CP yet but started to look into the T-rex further online.

Here's what I've found. There are several different models.

450X
450XL
450SA
450SE

Which would you recommend for a beginner? Also if this helps I'd like to get the Spectrum radio DX6 since I have a spectrum for my RC car. (love it)

My main priority is durability. I love the SE version, but not sure if that's practical since I'm a beginner. Would it cost more if I crashed an SE or something less expensive like an X or XL? Or would the SE be cheaper to repair since the common damaged parts are aluminum, etc?


Thanks in advance.
Eric
