The GL 450 is a pretty good helicopter. I think it runs too 'hot' out of the box and you should go buy a 11 tooth pinion for it. It will calm it down a little and give you more flight time. Most of the parts (except for the frame) are Align compatible so you are spoiled for upgrades and spare parts.
Next get a better charger is you got the one with the kit. You really need a read-out screen to see how many milliamps you put back in the battery (never use more than 80% if you like your battery). then you want a timer, or even better a good Transmitter with a flight timer. This will help you know when it is time to land before you start damaging your battery. Like the guys say, there is a lot to learn but this is the place to do it.
Welcome to the addiction. Set your self a budget now for parts/upgrades. You have been warned.
