RC Helis

I have a few RC Helis now:
The Walkera 4#3B is a micro 4 channel fixed pitch heli and is small and light (with cheap parts) and withstands most impacts. It is a good candidate as a trainer for beginners like myself.
In flight photos are a little difficult with the Walkera as it is fairly flighty and handling the camera and controlling the Heli is a bit beyond me presently. I have however managed to snap some pics of the EFilght's Blade CX2 (4 channel co-axial) whilst in flight:
Only after some considerable amount of time (and practice upon a flight SIM and with my other helis) have I been comfortable to idle up and then actually lift off with Venom's Night-Ranger 3D (a 6 channel collective pitch heli). I have tinkered with the head and put some of the alloy upgrades on it and have only over the last couple of weekends started to get some actual hover practice with it.
