like ralph said a few posts up, falcon 3d and the CPD4 is a very nice combo for someone starting out. the falcon 3d is a 400 size heli so its alittle bigger than the blade cps but its small enough to hover in a big room in the house(with the cpd4 turned off). with the cpd4 combo ull be able to do forward flight in no time, plus its more of a relaxed flying if you want it to be because you can turn the cpd4 on fully so and you let go of the cyclic controls (the right stick) it will hover for you with no input. that and a good gyro, tail servo and you can put down the controller and walk away with the heli hovering. with the cpd4 it lets you "try" things you wouldnt try before because if you get in trouble with the cpd4 just let go of the stick and it will go back to a hover. Mike at kaplanes has a great deal on the combo and he is a super nice guy.
