What is your take on training for over a month on a simulator and jumping in to a nicely equipped T-Rex 450SE? With electronics designed to last. Even with sim time is it bad to jump in to a high dollar chopper?

In my opinion, if you can afford it, that would be a great way to go. You build it thus learn a LOT more about it especially for when you have to rebuild after a crash. And you will never outgrow a TREX 450 SE v2 with your own electronics and gyro.

Don't get me wrong, the B400 is a decent heli for the price...
