I'm a mode 1 flyer (from flying fixed wing since I was a kid).

3d is harder to learn with mode 1, you need to be able to mix cyclic on the two sticks v's mode 2 where all the cyclic is on the one stick....

I'd recomend the HK-450 or Copter X 450 over the Trex, it's 1/3 the price for what is an exact copy of the trex 450 v2.

450 size heli's are a good size to enable you to learn 3d but small enough to be flown anywhere. Once you step up to 500 size you double the set up cost & battery costs.
