I own a CX2 and it is my first heli. I have several fixed wings I fly so I am not new to RC and orientations. The CX2 is an excellent first choice heli to learn the BASICS of how a heli works, learn to hover, & learn your orientation and smooth small control inputs with it. It will behave like a heli but only in a basic way. It is not well suited for outdoors unless it is a dead calm day. If you have a real interest in CX2 and have limited flying skills, it would be an excellent choice. But be warned, this is an addictive hobby and you will soon be wanting a CP or CP Pro, I know I am.
