Dkrob,
No problem, that's what the forum is all about, helping each other. Follow Radds to the letter and you'll be amazed. It takes time and lots of battery pack. But take your time and you'll save the $$$$$ in repairs. Actually, the Blades are pretty easy to repair and less expensive than most. Plus, parts are readily available. They are touchy, but not that aweful bad. Took me about 1 month.
If you have a big wallet, consider the T-Rex family. It's very stable.

I have to thank you Dave/Choppersrule on Radd's website. It gave me some really great info and techniques that I will use in learning to fly helicopters. What is neat is Radd's techniques are somewhat how I learned to fly airplanes. I started with gliders and just hand launched them and learned to glide. Got a lot of walking time in picking up the glider and my arm even got sore at times from throwing the plane.
I still don't have a sound feel for my first helicopter purchase..............but hopefuly reading the forums and the input I get from all of you I know will definitely help. I have tried the E-flite CP and CP Pro on the simulator and they seem pretty touchy.....I know, practice, practice, practice.
Thanks again everyone!!!
