Well I think I might have changed my mind again ha. I think I'm now leaning towards the new Blade SR that's coming out.

Some pros I thought of are,

It's more geared towards the beginner flying starting out on Collective Pitch Helicopters.
Probably easier to replace parts and learn the thing inside out.
Cost- 200 dollars sweet deal.
I can pay my recent ticket I got from a park ranger by talking on the phone while driving (since when can they give tickets?)
Might be able to buy a Flight simulator.

Some cons

It's more geared towards the beginner flying starting out on Collective Pitch Helicopters. (says its toned down a lot, can you bring it to full power/control with the radio it comes with?)
Still have to buy a nice Radio if I ever want to advance to bigger/better helicopters or even advance on the SR if i've done my research right.
In the long run it will cost more because I still will eventually buy a blade 400 or something bigger.
Direct drive tail motor, I read this is a con compared to belt driven, even though E-flight says its only using 60-70% of the tail motor power.
Smaller bird, I want bigger, its usually windy where I live and I want to fly more than less : / (E-flight says it can handle wind, but its obviously less than what the B400 can handle)

Okay what did I miss guys? What pros and cons am I forgetting? What is your opinion? I love the feedback thanks.
