best and extremely cheap usually don't go hand in hand.

I have no real experience with that bird, but it seems to have a sizeable following so you probably wouldn't be all that bad on it. Lower cost rtf heli's usually sacrifice quality in certain areas which is why Druss mentioned you will probably need to plan on replacing motors etc....electronics usually aren't the greatest either.

I second druss opinion though, skip the motor driven tail and get something with a belt drive. That was one of my biggest problems starting out. I started with an axe cp, towards the beginning of a battery pack it would be pretty good. As voltage dropped though, the tail and main motors were affected at different rates which meant drift would increase as the flight went on. I was always having to adjust the trim throughout the flight and it really made learning a PITA because I was fighting the tail all the time.

Its usually pay now or pay later, I wish I had never bought the axe and just started out with the mini titan. I would have had about 400 extra bucks to throw away on crash parts with the MT and truth be told I probably would have crashed it a whole lot less while learning.
