J-M,

Thanks, as always.

I've already eliminated the CP. I think it will be the Blade 400 3D or the TREX 450 SA/SE.
With my limited knowledge I think the Blade would sure be a lot easier to start out with since it comes with everything I'll need.

I'm very fortunate that my father may have been bitten by the Heli bug. He's the one who saw the guy flying a TREX today while he was out with my boys. If he gets into this hobby we'll probably have a couple of each of these birds.

Do you know if the 400 is out yet? I haven't seen any posts other than the initial excitment over them.

I wonder if the flight time is the same with both of them, Blade 400 & TREX 450.
