Same old question on which to get first
 
I know you guys have all hear this question may times before but I'm going to ask it anyway. I'm pretty much a newbie to electric helis. What is the best beginner heli to get that can be updated as I get better? I don't want to just get a learning heli that cannot be upgraded later thus causing me to buy another heli. If I look at the manufactures sites, they all advertise their helis can be used by beginners and upgraded an desired as experience gets better.

I've looked at MS Composit Hornets, Align Trex, Piccolo

Money is not really an object. I care more about quality than price.

Thanks

Get the T-rex

T-Rex
The Piccolo is a dinosaur. Very outdated.
If you have the budget, get a simulator, and learn to hover, hover nose in, and do low slow figure 8's on that. THEN consider flying your heli.

OK. Trex looks nice. Which model to start with 450X, 450XL, 450XL eCCPM, 450S, etc...?

Also, any suggestion on best place to buy online with the best prices?

Thanks again.
