Personally, I would not recommend learning on either of those helicopters. In fact, I would not recommend learning to fly on any heli that has a motor driven tail. I still don't know how I learned how to fly on an Axe CP. In my opinion, none of the sub $200 RTF helicopters with motor driven tails are "good" for a beginner. You just end up chasing the tail most of your flight. I don't even think they are good for experianced pilots.[&:] I wish that I had saved the money I spent on my Axe CP and went straight to a 325mm blade sized heli.

Since your budget is $200 and you have never flown before, I would use it to get a good sim and practice alot with it. The $200 you spend on the sim will save you much more than that in crash parts and frustration.

After the sim, I would recommend something with a belt driven tail like a Trex 450, Blade 400 (comes with a great radio setup), King 2, or any other 325mm blade sized heli with a quality radio and gyro. If you can afford a 500 sized then by all means get one. Bigger helis really are easier to fly than small ones.

I know this is not what you wanted to hear but it is my advice to any beginner. Learning to fly is frustrating enough, give yourself the best chance at success by following the adivce others have given on here.
