I started with the Blade CX and now I have 2 Falcon 3D mini heli's. I am using the FMA Direct Model CPD4 Co Pilot with both my Falcon 3D's. The CPD4 for 70 bucks will automatically put your heli in a stable hover. Works with the right stick servos on a Collective Pitch heli. Read about it at FMA Direct website. I now have 30 flights and no crashes so it does help you while you are learning. As the other guy said, don't get a Blade CP. My brother has one and all he does is crash and buy parts.

I have a video on youtube.com of my flying the Falcon 3d with CPD4...it was my flights 8 and 9. I am a beginner so wanted to tell you about the CPD4. Good luck.
