RE: What does everyone think?
Hey,
just a word of caution. I had a Hummingbird CP that I paid $150 for nearly 2 years ago. The Feda and Hummingbird are nearly identical (that is what I was told at least). In fact, I purchased Feda parts several times because they were cheaper. Anyway, I put nearly $500 into that heli (total) and STILL couldn't fly it. I could hover. I even took it to the hobby shop (they had a micro heli expert there) and HE couldn't fly it. I gave it to him for a week to see if he could adjust it......still no dice. I watched this guy fly a TREX around the store and inverted in the parking lot.
I couldn't tell from the photo if that FEDA was a CP version or not, but if you are new, I would stay away!! Get a Blade CX. I bought one several weeks ago and am flying it all over the place now. (I had some experience with the Hummingbird, but I can tell you that this thing will fly out of the box and is a WHOLE lot easier).
Just my $.02. Some people have probably had luck with it, but I wouldn't drop $200 on it when you can pretty much guarantee flights with the CX.

I seem to remember seeing these helis for sale brand new for $199.
I wouldn't think after exchanging hands twice that it would be worth $200.

Blade cp/ cp pro. It's tough to learn on at first, but with some patients and practice you can do it, I did (with the help of Radd's school).
Also, there are plenty of easy upgrades if you want to stick with this size for a while.
Just do a little forum research on it, enough info on here you could read for weeks.
