For any other newbie reading this, don't waste your money/time buying into the Blade company-line BS that you have to step up through every class and size of their heli to learn. Skip the co-ax (you'll get bored in a week or less with it) and go straight for the 120SR or mSRX, but don't buy both unless you really, really want to for some reason. Don't make the mistake thinking the larger 120SR will fly better outside in the wind because it absolutely will not. The smaller mSRX is much better for that because it's flybarless. Learn to fly either one of those and then get the mCPX. Whatever you do, don't buy the mSRX and then the 120SR. Especially in that order. It's a HUGE step backwards going to that craptastic, wonky "self correcting" 45 degree flybar.

Instead of Blade's lesser "toy" starter helis, get a good sim for about the same price. A good sim will take you MUCH farther in the hobby than any of those helis will. Even the pros still practice on the sim.
