RE: helimax axe
I would just make sure to get a heli that your LHS (local hobby shop) carries parts for. It's ok sometimes to wait for shipping, but sometimes you'd rather pay a little extra money and get it back in the air right away =)
I don't know much about the Axe CP, but I do have the Blade CPP which is very simular. If you have any questions about that one let me know =)
