Default Looking for recommandations?

I currently have a cheap RC Helicopter I got from the markets that was ready to fly, unlike my RC cars its runs a standard AA batteries that charges from the remote. You only have a minute run time if you’re lucky and it’s not the greatest quality either. The controls it has are throttle, pitch and yaw and was pretty happy with that. Some things I would like to see on my new RC Helicopter are…
Longer battery life
Multiply batteries for Helicopter
Spare parts
Better quality build

Thanks

The 120 is just a larger msr. Not too much larger...but if you plan on flying outside...the larger one will serve you better as these are FP helis and dont fly that well in the wind. They do fly better than any co-axial in wind...but really they are for calm flying.

If you are really serious about learning to fly "real" model RC helis...just start out with a CP heli. Blade makes 2 great ones that are tough as nails. the Nano CPX and the mCPX. They are about the same heli but the Nano is smaller...its about the size of the MSR. The mCPX is slightly larger....but not as large as the 120 size. Id call it a 110 size even though i dont think that size really exists. Also, get a decent SIM to practice on first. I use Clear View and it hasnt let me down. I knew nothing about helis and have no mentors in my club as I am the only heli pilot and I used it to teach myself to fly. It just simply works.

goodluck

Completely agree. I was self taught on a Blade 450 thanks to a ton of time spent learning everything on RealFlight before attempting it on the real deal. Now with the Nano CPX and mCPx available you should be able to remove a lot of the initial fear. Train yourself to hit the throttle hold switch as soon as the heli gets away from you and you'll be amazed at the hits those things can take without being damaged. And when they are damaged repairs are generally cheap and trivial to perform.
