Default Kit or RTF

Hi, I’m looking into getting an R/C heli but I'm not sure which way to go, Kit or RTF. My budget isn't too much of a problem and I’ve had plenty or experience with car kits, but not with a heli. I'm looking at the Blade CP Pro RTF or the T-REX 450SA ART. The T-REX has more features and is higher quality but I wanted to know if this might be too much heli for a beginner.

A small micro heli like the cp pro are harder to control/more unstable. The bigger the helicopter is the more stable it is in flight.

If you have the budget for the T-REX go with that. As Kevinator9 said, the bigger the easier. Also you will learn more by building it yourself.

Kit is better than ARF. Learn as you build, and you will be in a much better position to troubleshoot, tweak and repair.
