The Heli Blade 120 SR is really fun. It is well recommended to learn to fly the helicopter. The control funtkioniert genaus as its big brothers. The control is much more direct than that of a coaxial helicopter. So you learn directly real RC Heli flying. Only what is not natural, is 3D Heli figures, such as loops. But for the price that is very clear. Since the T-Rex 250 is a good base model. But too hard to start with. In addition, the helicopter is quite small (about 340 mm). You can fly in a large room or in the garden in lower winds him in z. Ex.. Both works. Just please consider as a beginner you need space :) But is that good, the helicopter is quite robust, so that it can not harm small crashes. It makes sense to buy the version without a transmitter and directly to set a programmable transmitter (fe. DX6i of spectrum. The helicopter will only work with broadcasters of spectrum). Then you have peace. One thing is certain: Anyone who has ever started, quickly gets a bigger ones :)
Conclusion: As a beginner Heli ideal. Whether young (13+) or old. I would recommend but still only a Heli simulation on the PC. Need not always be expensive super. The E SKY Icarus enough to learn from perfect.
