I was into nitro cars for the last 5 years and electric for 5 before that..
Never tried a heli before. Around the New Year I picked up a used blade cp pro. Came with spare parts and a telebee gyro.
Never looked back. Love it and ten time the rush of the Jato. It took some time to learn to hover and move the heli where I want it. Now I can hover and ff flight . Nothing fancy but learning.
I say if you have the will, Go for it. Its intense at first but the rush is great. Just take your time and never leave the ground until you control the heli. RADDS
I did spend a lot of time balancing the heli to get it right. The biggest problem was the battery. Every time I hit the ground the battery would move. Solved it by building and battery box.
If you get a blade cp pro make sure you do the fuse and paper clip mod they paid off when learning..

Go for the blade cp pro
