The fun pic is a good choice. It is smooth and predictable. It does however need some upgrades I feel for the beginner to be successful. Bearings are not a necessity right now. Focus on control. A swashplate ball insert is a good place to start as well as the swashplate support arm available from many of the micro heli websites. If anything, I would spend the money on this first before the bearings. I fly gas heli's so I have the big stuff, but in the winter, fingers get cold quick, so I love the micro heli's for buzzing around inside the house. The fun pic I built for my father-in-law has just become mine again, so I decided to chop it. Going 25% smaller. I will post my project as it progresses for all to see! Happy Hovering............
