I think I am the same as you - start from 'zero' experience. I bought T-REX 100 but found it not too easy to control. Just bought Nine Eagles Bravo SX, I think it is much easier to control. I read other overseas forums and people also recommends NE Solo Pro, NE Bravo SX and E-flite MSR over T-REX 100 for single blade fixed pitched heli. Also just read in Align forum that people reported very high failure rate of the tail motor of T-REX 100.
