Shagg,
I'm in the same boat, love the helis. I know I mentioned this before, but I have to get the CX2 for winter. I had the Cx, sold it, and now miss it. It's just a fun, relaxing thing to fly. That will put me back up to 6 helis. Guess I'm addicted.
I agree, the helis are much more challenging. I flew the planks, but, no comparison to the heli world. Ya can't fly a plank in the house, garage or in your backyard, unless you have a huge backyard.
