RE: aluminum on a micro
It depends upon whether you are a crash prone newbie or not.
If you are just starting out and learning, it's a complete WASTE of money, as you'll be replacing more expensive parts very quickly.
If you are fairly proficiient, then the Aluminum/Carbon/Titanium parts set will result in much better and smoother movement.
Of course usually by the time you get to this point you are ready to upgrade to a better heli anyway, and thus are better off purchasing a more expensive all CNC/Carbon/Titanium bird after you sell your plastic trainer.
Plastic parts "give" a bit during a crash, which normally means that fewer are broken.
Aluminum will crack, pull, or yank out of sockets, etc. during a hard crash resulting in more costly repairs for the newbies.

RE: aluminum on a micro
Ya, i don't think i'm getting a heli anymore anyways. I was going with the global evoflight or the night ranger 2, but from what i hear, you can't do anything besides flybys and sme unstable hovering, and i'm not willing to spend over 200 for a heli. Is the hummingbird v3 a 3d heli?
