RE: Best 30
You will find that once you learn flying properly, you will outgrow the 30 size and would want to get to a bigger size.
So my suggestion is go for the Hawk pro as it is cheaper than the others, and you will not learn anything more from a more expensive model anyway. I have bought one and has been great.
Since then, I have bought also a Trex 600 and love it even more. I never regretted the Hawk, and find that I saved a lot getting that instead of the others, performance has been great, and the overall experience satisfying.Still flying it between charging my batteries of my 2 Trex's, and saved a bundle meanwhile.
Don't get me wrong, the raptor and the Evo seem to be the preference between a lot of people and clearly the 2 top heli brands out there since Align doesn't have a 30 size nitro out there, but you should really give century a look.
I kinda saved my money for the bigger model that I wanted later, after I was a bit better flier.
