OK i Bought my self a Falcon 3d, Eflight Blade CX2, And a Sim.. Doing great with 2 out of the 3 and i think you guys probably can guess what those are.. I Think my biggest problem is that i dont know enough (or at least not yet) about these helicopters and how to properly set one up... My Cx2 even though i do still have those random crashes, i can fly it the whole length of a battery and not have a single problem... So this brings me to my question, Would i benefit in getting another RTF helicopter that i really dont have to worry about balancing the blades and all that or should i stick to buying extra spares for the falcon.... Now i was thinging about getting one of the honey bees, blade cp or cp pro, or a axe cp helicopter.. If anyone has some advise on what i should do please your advise would be great.. thanks much

I don't own a falcon but have flown one, they fly as well as any other less expensive heli out there. It all depends on your set up, don't buy another heli, work on getting yours set up correctly and enjoy it. From what I've seen, nothing RTF is truely "Ready to fly" until you set it up correctly. The Falcon will hover with very little stick input and hold a heading fairly well, work on it and ask some questions on the set up in the Falcon thread. Good Luck.

I think you should go CX/sim, FP, CP
the FP is a much better heli to start on then a CP IMO.
It's better in a crash, requires less set up, and if you do manage to break a part it cost less to replace, once you master (and I mean master not just hover) the FP, you'll find moving to a CP much easier and you'll still have your FP for fun flying. Then sell the CX.

i would have to agree with badazz, no rtf heli is able to fly out of the box, there is a lot of balancing, trimming and adjustments that need to be made (and checking for bent main rotor shafts heh) hardest part is learning how to do everything, which sucks....but once you learn it, you'll be able to set up any heli you get. plus you'll find out what you like and dont like about some helis than others.
