if you have a football field size area to fly in than a nitro heli is fine but if you dont than your realy wasteing your money.to realy fly a nitro heli you need room with no neighbors for you know nitro is loud and the heli`s are worse cause the exaust is shorter.the blade 400 or t-rex 450,or skyartech, or the blitzrcworks are realy your best for first time fliers.very affordable to repair and can do anything the nitros can and sometimes longer. but again its your money,helis can get very costly quick if your not careful.espiecaly after a crash. nitro parts are 2 to 3 time more exspincive. if you just want to be cool and try and out do your freinds then go nitro. if you want practical then go electric
