RE: How is the piccolo pro?
fairly good, needs lipo and brushless to do it justice. what heli experience do you have? if you have none, it is going to be a VERY expensive venture learning on a pic pro...

RE: How is the piccolo pro?
I agree that we would need to know your prior heli experience to be able to give advice.
Also, where do you intend to fly this? Livingroom flying pretty much indicates a Fixed Pitch micro. Outdoor flying with wind pretty much rules out FP Micros.
My usual advice is to start with a FP micro (Piccolo Fun/V2 or Hummingbird or similar) and them to buy a second heli when you have learned to setup, troubleshoot and fly the FP.

I currently have a Raptor 50 V2 and a 60 Fury. I am into forward flight but thats it. I would be flying this in a large garage.

Aahhh...... Then you are one of the ones who COULD benefit from a CP micro heli.
If I were purchasing a CP heli, I am not sure that the Picc Pro would be the first choice. Current research indicates that the Shogun or T-Rex top the list, as far as I can tell.

RE: How is the piccolo pro?
both the shogun and trex are larger then a true micro, but if you are flying in a garage any of those would be fine. Keep in mind micros can be just as expensive or often more so then their larger brothers... (#*#@$ addictive hobby these little guys are!!)
