Jared I just bought a Helimax AXE CP. I really like it. Way more beefier than the Blade CP. Has a larger tail motor, so the tail has better control. Parts are reasonable too. I bought it from Tower Hobbies. I joined there saver plan and added a couple of battery conectors to get the price of the copter over $200, then I got a discount from joining the savers program, free shipping and it also discounted the heli. I paid a total of $198.00 plus that included the savers program and shipping. Awesome deal. Plus I'm very happy with the heli.

Stang the AXE is a cool heli, but I'm not a big fan of the motorized tail rotor.

Its a nice flying heli, but the tail motor just seems a bit late when on the gas...

But it does seem stable!

The Falcon is a great flying 3D capiable helicopter and for the money it's a great value. I've now had mine for well over 8 months and have really enjoyed it.
