RE: Newbie asking for thoughts!!!
Seems like the Honey Bee MK 3 is a nice compromise between a collective-pitch model and a twin-rotor model. And you can go to Hobby Lobby and they have every part for it in stock, unlike the CX/2, where there are no parts anywhere. Seems to me a Blade CP might be a bit challenging for a beginner, unless you have lots of spare cash for repair parts.
