Such helicopters have a steeper learning curve still, but will reward you with smoother and more advanced flying characteristics.
The Blade CP Pro 2 follows on from the tried and trusted Blade CP and Blade CP Pro electric rc helicopters, while the newer Blade 400 is a larger 3D helicopter packed with the latest features and technology. The term '3D' means that the helicopter is capable of very advanced aerobatics, but this kind of flying takes many hours of practice to perform!
Above, the Blade 400 and Blade CP Pro are two very popular electric rc helicopters
But even though CP helis like the Blade 400 and Blade CP Pro 2 are often marketed as 'suitable for beginners', it's important to remember that they are serious business. Learning to fly one takes a lot of time and practice, and the purchase of an rc flight simulator such as the Phoenix is highly recommended as a serious training aid. It's an extra cost of course, but well worth it if you're even half-serious about the hobby.
Another aid to look at if you're intent on buying a CP helicopter, is John Salt's eBook Setup & Tips for 400 Size RC Helicopters. Although it focuses on the E-flite Blade 400, it isn't limited to that helicopter and is an essential resource for anyone looking at getting in to CP helicopter flying.
Remember: With any single rotor electric helicopter of 3 channels or more it's very important to understand that they do have a steep learning curve and should never be classed as a toy; spinning rotor blades can do a lot of damage, and all rc helicopters have to be treated with a great deal of respect at all times! Only coaxial rc helicopters, talked about at the beginning of the page, are much easier to fly with no experience.
Regardless of the type of model you choose, the great thing is that electric rc helicopters are now available to the masses, and at very affordable prices. And the range is such that there's a helicopter to suit just about every budget, preference and flying need.
The traditional horror stories of how expensive and difficult radio control helicopters are to fly are no longer strictly true. This is excellent news for the hobby, an improvement long overdue!
And with the majority of electric rc helicopters, so long as you are sensible and follow the manufacturer's instructions closely, there's no reason why you should have any serious problems or difficulties with learning to fly your helicopter safely.
But, again, if you are even half-serious about flying rc helicopters, do consider investing in an rc flight simulator. Modern simulators like the Phoenix are well worth getting, and you can practice safely without worrying about damaging your own helicopter. Highly recommended!
