I agree with jab....I think some of these recommendations are 1) Over $100 so after replacement parts for damage which will happen with a first time heli flier, it can get expensive.....and 2) 6 channels is just more controls to have to manage.  Believe me, a 4 CH chopper means you have to manage throttle, pointing the chopper, sliding left/right and moving forward/backward.  Any more than that is just too much to manage if you're new IMHO.  I am learning too and got a Lama Co-axial V4 4CH chopper and so far, have only busted 1 set of blades in training so I recommend this type chopper or similar
