Need advice on 2nd micro heli to buy!
I am ready to go onto a new heli. I want it to be a micro, same size as my current FP Piccolo becuase I only seem to fly in my basement (roughly 16x30feet)
I want a CP with a 'real' tail rotor set up... i'm so sick of the motor drive from the Piccolo. So I'm thinking either the MS Hornet II or the new Hummingbird Elite 3D Pro that is on "pre-order" now. I want good stability, and ability to fly outside in FFF on occasion.
Suggestions on electronics and motors? Do I need brushless seeing as how I am indoor?
What do you all think?

If I do sell my Pic. it will be to a buddy of mine [8D]
Does the Hornet II seem much bigger than the Piccolo? I see that the main rotor size is only 2 inches bigger. Does that seem like much when you are actually flying? I assume since it will be able to ply with more precision that it shouldn't be a problem.
