By the sound of everything, the Blade 400 sound like a great heli. My kids and I are in the process of getting into the hobby, started in nitro trucks, and we like the CX3. I want something more for outside and think the Blade 400 is a good choice. Once taxes are in, it's mine.

BTW. is there a difference between a Blade 400 when they first came out, to a Blade 400 made last month? I might get a used one from the classifieds here.
