I know there are some r/c plane and jet pilots on here... anyone an avid helio pilot? I've done the r/c planes, but never really got that deep into it as the nearest r/c field is an hour away. Some of these helicopters do amazing 3D aerobatics and with a large park behind my garage, it makes the ideal training zone.
I'm looking at the Kyosho Caliber 30..

The electric birds are about 1/2 the price, but are limited to 15-20 minute flights, can't be flown with any wind and don't have rotor pitch. For those of you who fly r/c helios, how long does it typically take to learn to get comfortable with hovering and getting into forward flight?
