Thank you for taking the time to read and comment on this thead. I'll keep this brief....

A year ago I bought a Blade CP and was discouraged with how hard it was to fly, combined with what little abuse the wooden blades take (from a newbie). So it sat on the shelf for about 8 months until, by chance, I sold it to a friend. That's when I found the Blade CX. We all know how fun these things are to fly. I've been flying mine for about a month now with what I would say are typical results. Yes I've broken blades, bodies, landing gear, etc. All this because I want to FLY this thing. Not hover around in my living room or do perioettes (sp?) on a impossible wind-free day.

So here's my question to you, the reader, would one month's practice prepare me for another Blade CP? Eventually I want to buy one along with either Carbon Fiber blades or Plasti-blades (something that can take a hit or two... or 10).
