Default RE: FP vs. CP for beginner

Buy a good flight simulator first.

I attempted to fly helicopters since 1981. Spent A LOT of money fixing bad flights. I learned more in ONE YEAR of flying a good RC heli simulator than I ever learned in 20 or so years of crashing real ones.

The newest AXE CP 3 is supposed to be toned down to make it easier to transition from a very stable co axial trainer. If you only have limited funds, and have never flown a helicopter before, I'd start with one of the complet OOB co axial copters first. This way you have a stable platform to learn orientation and control. Then save up again for the CP single blade copter
MTC
YMMV
