Thanks Jeff,
I actually started with a Silverlit Havoc (what a joke) and then got a Blade CX. I then got used too (read:bored) with that and then traded it for an Axe CP. I then traded a RTF plane for a Blade CP pro. I had both for a short while, and actually liked the way the Blade CPP flew, over the Axe CP. I could do basic tail in hover, but descided to sell both in order to get the Blade 400. Unfortunately, it took a week to sell both them and well, I'm still waiting going on 4 months for my Blade 400. Got the Clearview simulator to practice a little while I wait, but, I am anxious to get on the real thing. Its funny, I fly the TRex 450 on Clearview and I find it difficult to control, but I go to my LHS and play with RealFlight 3.5 and I can do 3d maneuvers without crashing (much). I'm sure it's a lot to do with the sim quality differences. I dare not do it for real, though! Scale like flying me.

At least I know my plans will work. Thanks again.
