At $70 :( I would save until I had $130 and go after the E FLite MCX micro. You will enjoy it much more and have much better flight control. :)

thats kinda what I figured I was hoping maby it might have been a good one since its the coolest looking one I have ever seen I guess i will get one of these the heli-max axe ez ep rtf or the heli-max rotofly ex ep rtf they are both $170 do you know wich one is better? the roto fly has a nice case and a gyro but the axe ez has counter rotaing blades wich one should i get?

If you have never flown, then the double rotor set-up will be what you want. The single rotor choppers require some simulator time to even be able to fly. I have to say my new MCX is one of the most fun choppers I've seen. Even better than my cx2 which I really like alot.

+1 on simulation software and helicopters.
Even getting the free demo off the Relflight website is useful sim time, even without a stick radio for input.
The Hangar9 FS One sim is only $99 now, with controller.

If money isn't an issue, yep, Realflight is a more full-featured sim.
