Default X-cell for newbies?

An X-cell is a great heli but it requires considerably more work and setup time than the plastic helis. I started with a used nexus and went to a Fury 60. It handled so much better than the nexus and was much easier to fly. But the crash cost was very intimidating. I bought a caliber 30 for trying the riskier stuff and found that it was nearly as easy to fly as the Fury and far better machine than the Nexus. IF you are fairly competent with mechanical assemblies and the crash costs don't scare you, get an X-cell. Otherwise stay with one of the plastic helis. The TT Raptor 50 really kicks. I have recently gotten one and it has quickly become my favorite heli.
