Yea they are addicting, I am a member of the colorado rotor heads heli club, we meet the 2nd wends of the month. I think we start at Chatfield res next month. Should come out and talk to a few of the members, great group of guys and and everyone is always willing to help out.
stick with that one even though its boring, itll help get all of your orientations down, going from that to a ccpm heli is totally difft, I would go to the MCP next, its pretty reasonable when you do a BNF as you already have the radio, and they can take a heck of a smack with out breaking stuff lol
