Ofnsve,
Sounds like you did your homework, doing the research and being sure what you wanted. Yea, 10 minutes online can cost any of us a few bucks. Last night, online, I ordered some spare parts, and some needed parts to get one of my helis back in action. $100 bucks in just a few clicks.
Take care, go slow and have fun,

choppersrule, I know it's a lot of money, but I thought if I'm going to do this I'm going to do it right. I did a lot of research before sitting down and spending that much in less than ten minutes online.

I've never flown a heli before but have experience with planes. Also, before I purchases any new equipment I bought the G3 flight sim and have put in a lot of hours on that. So the free training gear was a nice thing to get. My friend has a Blade CX and he said I could have his training gear if I didn't get any with my copter.
Thanks for the link to Radd. It is now a bookmark here on my work puter and at home so I can read through it at both places.
And here I sit waiting for my stuff.....
