I'm sure this has been asked in one form or another a thousand times, and I'm not sure if this is the right forum to put it in. I did a search and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I have been out of R/C for a while, but at the time I stoped due to losss of our field I was into scale planes and pattern flying about 10 years ago. I've gotten nterested in starting to fly heli's particularly with an interest in scale the 3D thing doesn't do anything for my as sorry to say but it resembles the last trout I landed ( flailing ). I have been looking into a couple of different options one being a Blade CP as I looks like a very inexpensive way to get started however to my way of thinking a micro would not make the best thing to get started on do to the small sized and the likely hood of smaller being a bit more sensitive to inputs and outside factors than something larger. I would deffinately be looking to go to Nitro's. Hirobo looks to be the brand to go to as they do a number of scale bodies which I would like to progress towards. I have been looking toward 2 of the Hirobo ships the Sceadu EVO .30 particularly in the beginner package as this is supposed to include the radio, motor, and training gear. I also have some interest in the SST-Eagle Freya Evolution .90 I was primarily looking this direction due to it being a larger ship and therefore a bit more stable lending itself toward more toward scale flight, (or is my thinking a soup sandwich), although the reviews I have scene suggest both could be capable 3D machines. I would be looking to instal a scale fuse one either in the future. Do any of these have any particular flight characteristics that would cause you to recomend staying away from them a a platfor to head into. Does one of the nitros lend itself toward becoming a scale machine better than the other?

thanks for your time and responses

I'm currently flying the Evo 50 and highly recommend it. It should be a good choice for scale as well. Hirobo makes at least one scale fuse that I know of for the Evo and there are other sources including Century. You're right about the Blade CP. Any of the small electrics will be a handful to start on. I also have a TREX 450XL and while I like flying it it is nowhere near as stable as my Evo 50 and the Evo 50 also handles much more wind than the TREX.
