This past Christmas I received a 3.5 channel Co-Axial helicopter as a present. One of those Mall Specials with the vertical third prop on the tail to control forward and backward flight. I've really enjoyed flying it, but am left wanting more, despite my advancing skill with it.
My question now is "What's next"?
Inspired by the recent "Heli-Path" video I am now torn between getting a Fixed-pitch heli (like the Blade SR120 or mSR) or getting a Collective Pitch (like the Blade mCPX2). I noticed that Josh (Scott) seemed to have the same amount of trouble with both of them. A fixed-pitch is the logical next step, but I feel like I may be looking for more after to long. When it comes to performance/ maneuverability what are the advantages of a Collective Pitch heli over a Fixed Pitch heli? I'm not looking to get into 3D flying, yet, but I think it would be nice to be able to at some point.
