| Ergo 30 CCPM is a good starter, with standard servos. If you can find
someone with one to teach you using a trainer cord, this sure can make
things easier. This can keep from crashing and keep your heli in one
piece. You can upgrade to a 50size motor, but you will need a new motor mount,fan,better servos. Than you could put on 600mm blades
and a long tail boom. It is a proven design, that will give you a good
starting point, to either upgrade or get a larger heli.

We have several new guys at our field that fly Ergo 30 CCPM heli's. I don't see any problem starting out with this heli. The Ergo is smoother than the Raptor in my opinion which helps a new pilot. Both are good helicopters. The Ergo has fewer moving parts due to the CCPM setup, Which means less maintance. I've seen guys replacing head parts in Raptors from wear and one Ergo has over 60 hours on it and the only thing replaced was a belt and thats because the owner never checked the belt tension and flew it with a too loose belt. Just my opinion of course. Either would be a good choice.
