Take a look at Honybee FP (Honeybee #4 is the newest version) here: http://www.xheli.com/juinye20esho.html When you order, use the coupon code cjfree2 & you get free shipping - the code is good for any order over $50.

Eventually you can do some upgrades to the Honeybee, like adding a higher capacity LiPO battery, a set of SuperSkids that are much more durable than the scrawny (but tough) stock landing gear.

The main rotor blades are tough, but can chip if they hit hard objects (concrete or asphalt). An extra tail blade isn't a bad idea, even though I haven't broken mine (yet). Get a couple of extra rotor heads ($1.50 each). They are the first & about the only thing I've broken.

Also get the Main & tail motor heat sinks to prolong your motor life. Don't get too many spare parts to begin with - you'll want to be able to get enough later to qualify for the free shipping

They say it's ready to fly right outta the box. >>> BUT <<< take a good look around once you unpack your heli. Others can post more details, but the first thing to do is adjust the center of gravity - outta da box it's notoriously tail heavy. Move the battery as far forward as you can. I've installed a LiPO battery along with the SuperSkids kit. In the pic, you can't even see the battery, since it's so far forward. Nevertheless, it still needed 2 185 grains by weight lead slugs stuck to the nose to get it balanced. Look at the length of each end of the flybar - mine needed to be moved a little to even up the length , since right from the factory, one side was longer than the other. You can eyeball the paddels to be sure they are set at zero pitch. Also be sure the swashplate is level - outta da box, mine needed considerable adjustment.

I agree that the training gear can save you a lot of repair time & money. So will time spent on the flight SIM.
