My very first heli was one of these.






Slightly more modern helis were - Blade CX2 - Blade 400 - several BnF - Trex500 - more BnF.

First, Blade CX2 flown in the house. Hmm, this is fun.

Second, Honey Bee Fixed Pitch flown in the garage. Challenging.

Third, T-Rex 500 flown in the sky. I'm hooked!

Bought an MSR and crashed it into everything in my office, so I bought a MCX to learn on. Went back to the MSR and then got a 120SR so I could "fly outside", which didn't work real well. This lead me to best purchase, the Phoenix Sim, which allowed me to progress somewhat gracefully to my first CP heli, the Balde 450.

I still fly the MCX during long conference calls

Blade 400, and it's still in one piece. Taught me basics up into the beginnings of 3D and the only time it ever got hurt was from a hard auto after a belt failure.
