Right there with you rikybob, Ive been flying the blade cx for three weeks now non stop. Ive gotten really good w/ foward flight and guiding it through the house. Have flown it outside so im looking around for the next step. Have my eye on the Blade 400 because I WILL eventually want to fly 3d, and the dx6i seems to good of a deal especially since Im looking at planes too. But w/ the HBKII looking so cheap/quick and a step up Im not confused LoL. Heli's are awesome!
