From what I've seen, you need to do the simulator first.

They are a lot harder than they look.

Start small first, A friend was starting and did just that.

It seemed like a challenge to hover in one spot and keep it controlled.

Also close to the ground creates more turbulence which makes it tough.

He said he first got it and was just hovering, his wife said how high will it go.

He hit the throttle got 30+ ft and a wind gust sent it into the trees.

Low wind conditions are a must, almost completely calm for a newbie.

from what I understand the 2blade heli's are best for outside as they fly like a real one, my bro and I both have the 4 bladed ones and with the slightest bit of wind it screws them all up and they won't fly right. Also you're love the rustler vxl imo one of the best 1/10th scale electrics and they are fast.
