Default Eflie Blade CP+

I saw this heli over on Horizon's website:

http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...rodID=EFLH1105

I'm mostly wondering what people think of it. I've flown a Blade CX and heli's on the sim, but never owned one and I'd like to get one. I'd really like to a Thunder Tiger Mini Titan, but no one at the club I fly at now has a helicopter so I'm little hesitant to spend $800+ on the Mini Titan. Is this something that I could get a play around with to get the hang of things or should i hold onto my money?

I'd say at the very least get a Blade 400 . Better yet would be to invest in a quality heli like a Trex 600N and a good 7 channel radio(DX7). If you go cheap, you will get cheap. If your really serious about getting into helis be totally ready to spend at least $1200.00 to $1800.00


The Blade CP helis are very twitchy, i do not recommend them for beginners.

Bigger flies better!!!

I don't recommend them period! They are a complete joke, IMO. I have my eye on the blade 400 arf. I have seen two of them and they looked and flew nice. At $279 its worth a try.
If I enjoy my Raptor 50, ill be getting me the blade 400 for my hangar at work to fly around.
