keep your 7C and just take the spring out, it's a small bit of metal with a crease which with a few small taps with an hammer will flatten out then put it back in, I did one and it's smoother than my heli TX one is,
you can beat a good TX with a RTF one it's like selling your ferrari and buy a mini,
plus you get to buy a heli with servo's that last, well worth a bit more work, a heli is only as good as it's parts, and a 450 gives you most choice, something like this is ARF all you need is a battery and a RX,

or like this if you want to go down the cheaper clone road but you need to buy more parts, giro servo's etc. but you can fit some hitec 65MGs, I wouldn't fit any thing less, well worth a few $ more, and well save you loads in the long run, buy two ME450AE's and use one for spares, it's what I recommend.

or my best heli, not as cheap but it's so nice to fly with good parts that you will put up with the price,

If you have to go down the RTF road at lest buy something like this, it's a brilliant heli, I have one, this one comes with crap servos like all the RTF heli's but there easy to change on this one,

one bit of advice is you have to stop thinking working on a heli as hard or slow work and take it as a big part of the hobby like it is, my first and many more peoples first experience of heli's lasts seconds and ends in a rebuild, time after time, fixing your heli after is part of it and knowing your heli in side out before you bend it helps you to fix it and the more times you do it the quicker you get at it, it takes me about three hours to strip and straiten and rebuild and set up my heli's after a crash,
once you under stand that you never look at RTF stuff again, A heli is onley as good as it's parts and you can buy so much better than whats fitted to RTF stuff, it's not just how it flys but how long it lasts,
As a newbe you want the easiest heli to fly and a good quality heli with quality parts is easier to fly,
The best giro's hold the tail so well the tail is hands free almost, once a minute is about it in a hover, and that makes flying easier,
