hey everyone.
my name is gal and i have been in the r/c hobby for 4 years now, most of the time flyng airplanes like dazzler and so on. anyway recentely i decided to try helis so i have been searching among stores and the web for the best helicopter to start from and my list containes now three possible helis: blade cx, lama and honey bee (the first one... i mean not cp2...) from the three the honey bee looks more attractive and long term helicopter. but if you have some suggestions for me or anything else that can help me start with i will be glad.
thanks every one, gal :D

Hi, I recommend lots of simulator time then a Blade CP. I think it's best to start with something that has a tail rotor. A whole Blade CP setup is $219 radio included. Good luck!

thanks, but in my country(israel by the way) the blade cp costs much more than the three helis that mention up and it seems a bit too much so between the three you think that i can handle the honey bee?(if i buy a simulator too)
thanks. :D

I started out with the Hummingbird which I believe is the same as the Honeybee. I learned valuable lessons from it, then moved on to Shogun. So maybe that is a good place to start. It worked for me.
