I got the CP pro for Christmas and love it. Been flying planes for years too. Gone thru a few sets of blades and worn off the bottom of the skids on the pavement. I can now fly foward and side to side. The CP pro is my recomendation. It flys as tame as you want it to. Just take it slow and follow RADDS 100%. One good thing about it does handle light wind good. Even learning to hover with a breaze is fun.
