A lot of Googling pointed me in the direction of the Blade Scout CX, pictured above.<\/p>\n<p>What a great little helicopter this is. Its counter rotating blades and built in stabiliser makes this an ideal little helicopter to learn on. At \u00a330 delivered its a real steal too. Every part is replaceable. The lipo gives 6 minutes flying time and recharges in 30 minutes. The controller allows basic and advanced mode (lunatic mode, as I call it) of control.<\/p>\n<p>I fly it a couple of  times a day and it has allowed me to learn the basics of rc flying. Its a great, fun way to learn and highly recommend it to anyone starting out. It is so stable that I was able to hover it with one hand and take this picture with the other.<\/p>\n<p>Happy flying!<\/p>\n<p>Rob<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Because the weather has been so awful this winter I have not been able to get to grips with my SAS Fusion slope soarer.
