I have 4 heli's right now and have sold 1. So here is some solid advice for you.

Download FMS it is free and does do heli sim. It will teach you the basics but the physics are not perfect so be carefull as you convert to the real thing. A coaxal heli is a OK start but again the physics will not match a real heli. If you want to fart around indoors the MCX or Coco lama is not a bad start. It will teach you alot of stuff like the SIM's do. They also survive most crashes and are cheap to repair. You however will likely outgrow your heli in a few weeks. Then you will find yourself wanting a 450 sized bird.

Next if you grow into a 450 sized heli, don't get one with a plastic head, it will cost you more in the long run. If you can not afford a machined aluminium model then you can not afford heli's.

With proper learning steps you can avoid most crashes, but take note you will crash and you will have to repair it.

My best flying heli is a trex 450 SE V2. However I like the looks and hear great things about the skyshark and HDX heli's

Helil's are harder then airplanes so if you want to fly consider a airplane first, I have a blast with my combat planes. Nothing is more fun that smashing into another airplane and seeing who can fly away. These planes don't break and are cheap to build.


Last but not least be carefull, The indoor heli's are OK, but when you get into a 450 Trex or the like you want to be carefull they can do serious damage to a person like hospital to death type stuff.

Heli's are a lot of fun and a constant challenge to master. 3D flight is almost unbelievable, I myself can not do any inverted flight yet.
