Next Step
So I had a Blade MCx for my first helicopter, and Mastered that. I am wondering what my next step should be, I have been flying for a long time in the aircraft world and I am a very fast learner. I mastered my MCx in about a week, hovering, landing on the ceiling fan blades
, so where should I go form here. I was thinking about the Blade MsR but also saw a similar heli called the Blade CP. I know that it is a big jump from coaxial to CP but I am pretty confident I can control it with careful steps. I don't want to have to buy another heli when I master a FP, so I thought a CP was a good idea. Well I don't mind to buy more than one, and could afford it, the boss would have my noots I would like to have a micro as I live in Ohio and the weather is to cruddy here to fly outside.[:'(] Any help would be great, even better does someone have one to sell me?
I am also looking into the Blade CP as there are a bunch of nice used ones on ebay and here that have 4-5 batteries and CNC rotor etc. Help Please! Thanks

Hello CastorTroy
Have you consider something like Honey Bee CP3 ( http://www.rc711.com/shop/product_in...oducts_id=2622 )
A friend of mine got one and I've tried it myself and once you have it trimmed you can make a no-hands hover and it is an aerobatic trainer.

Good luck!

RE: Next Step
Haha, well I guess thats pretty good for a little one! Unfortunately my twin boys are only 2, hmmm maybe I should get them started
. My biggest problem was I have flown RC planes for years and my mechanics for that I was trying to apply to the helicopter, which doesnt work so well..
