Into the hobby for about 6 months. All helis. I first purchased a mini styrofoam for $25 and it was fun!
Next came the MASH Rescue copter $150, but I crashed it in day one and it took forever to find replacement parts.
Then I found a LOCAL hobby store and got a E Flite Blade CX2. $199. but I still crashed way to often. Luckily the store had replacement blades.
I then got the gift. Real Flight simulator G4 $175. The actions on the remote are near perfect. 30 aircraft, 10 airports, cockpit views, competitions and more.
Now I can even fly my blade in the wind. In order: accessible replacement parts and practice.
Good luck
