Default high quality electric heli?

Since I've had my blade I've had alot of fun with it. Now that I have learned how to fly I'd like to move up to something that is of higher quality. What I mean buy that is something that isn't held together with fuel tubing and rubber bands. I know I will have to go seperates for electronics and most likely will want to go to a brushless with good lipos for power. What should I be looking at if I want to stay with something about the size of the blade? Something a bit bigger wouldn't bother me but I don't want to loose the ability to hover around in the backyard on my lunchbreak.

Trex or X400 Either is a quantum leap ahead of the Blade. And so is the price. Plenty of posts on the pros/cons of each. RT

Has anyone mentioned the T-Rex?
Seriously, this is a good step up from where you are. I fly in my postage stamp, city lot back yard all the time. I also walk across the street to the little league lot and tear up the sky. (OK, maybe not tear up, but I do really fast figure eights)

The Maxir is an OUTSTANDING choice as well.

I see that the T-rex has been mentioned over and over. Give it a go...easier to fly than a Blade with a good head-hold gyro.

What is the best T rex kit to get? Is the one with ccpm better than the other? I'm still learning rite now but i would like to buy a T rex kit and buy the electronics a little at a time. I have a blade cp now.

Thanks for the info
