Hi Bob,
I like 3 brands:
Hirobo Sceadu 50
Raptor 50
T-Rex 600 nitro

Getting a sim is quite an advantage.
Having an experienced heli pilot look over your bird before you fly is critical.

What do the heli pilots in your area fly? That might be a help in determining which heli to start with.

If you're going nitro anyway, i'd look at a .50 size instead of the .30, more stable and not too much more money. the thunder tiger raptor titan or align trex 600N would be my choices (i have the 600N pro)

Raptor 50 was my first, that worked well for me.
