I would advise getting a training rig while your learning to fly. its wire struts with foam balls on the end that attaches to your heli, stops it tipping over on take off/landing and saves your rotors.

mines paid for itself time and time again, they are around 20bux and well worth it.

747691 2009-03-04 02:39:00 Hi Q man

I have an E-Sky Belt C.P and a Dynam Orbiter(coaxial)
The Orbiter is a great little heli to learn on...It's a 4 channel, but still easy.
Orbiter is from rcworld.co.nz About $200 will get you the heli and extra battery,comes with spare set of blades as well.
The Belt C.P(collective pitch) is a lot harder to fly...and bigger 600mm but IMO more realistic flight.Cost $400.
Start small and you'll be right.Parts are cheap enough and readily available.
I fly the Orbiter inside and its alot of fun..chops up pot plants good to lol
The Belt is a lot harder to fly but such a rush when you start hovering,but it needs a lot of space as it will probably kill you if it hits you,or anyone else for that matter :(
Anyway hope that helps,Watch out it's addictive

Dolby Digital I bought a Esky Lama v4 its good.

Welcome to PF1 flyingkiwirat! I think your advice is great seeing that I ordered a belt cp yesterday we must think alike. Belt should arrive tommorrow and this time I even may read the instructions, mainly I bought this one so I could fly it outside as I have kindof mastered the lama inside.
