just wondering what opinions are out there. I have the bcx and have had a blast. shortening the flybar, cutting holes in the 4-in-1 and the canopy have yeilded good results, she will now hover almost totally hands free (out of ground effect) but it's is an indoor bird and I'd like to fly both outside and in. I'm wondering where to go from here. The first thought is the bcp but i have heard about the walkera #4 and the honeybee (sp?). $ is a consideration (t-rex will have to wait :( , though I know you get what you pay for... It need not be 3d and I would like a rtf or easy arf (sausage fingers & time) also it'd be good to have something that can fly in a bit of wind- unlike the cx. any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. thx!

Mike - see the links I posted in page two of this thread (http://forums.radiocontrolzone.com/showthread.php?t=223635&page=2) in the helicopter forum.

What you probably want is a collective pitch micro heli with a tail rotor - do not expect the transition to come easy, the BCX has taught you a lot of bad habits that will become very evident with a tail rotor heli. Read up on the info I posted in those links before you buy.
