Default Mini to Mid-size question

.......is. I was considering the Kyosho M24(still am), but am also speculating on something a bit larger. Would the Corona 120 be a good "next step"? And, if so, what "package" would I want to get for a complete rtr setup? I still want to say electric, but if its not going to get to pricey going a bit larger for some more stability and such Im interested.....

I had a Corona. For what it is, a fixed pitch heli it's pretty decent. It's without a doubt the toughest one out there. The manuals that come with it are undeniably the best ones supplied with any heli on the market. If you do get a Corona, do not get the Electrofusion motor that LMH supplies. It's a total piece of crap! It'll wear out in a very short time and you'll have to replace brushes several times before it does go. Get an Kyosho Atomic Force or you could go brushless.

Mike........thanks for the input. Yea, I do want to stay electric so I can run in the yard w/o neighbors complaining, but, if I can get into a unit (complete that is) for a reasonable price I may just go that way. (plus I already have some other $$ hobbies that keep me busy). I plan to stop by the local shop and see what else they carry.
