Streak...go back and get the CX. I almost did the same thing, and the hobbyshop guy strongly suggested working up to it. Said the CP was a whole 'nother deal, and took much more time to get stable and pilot well. The CX will give you a ton of fun pretty quuick, while still being a challenge.
Its like AH..you can start up quick, and see some results first day, but you'll wanna spend time getting better. And if you like to modify stuff, you gotta check out those forums...unbelievable stuff.
SOB...hope you like it! Its been a bunch of desperately needed fun for me, on a low budget. Beware cats, dogs, parakeets and unsuspecting kids everywhere!
For a really good laugh...on a still-air early evening, take 'er out to the driveway for a spin. As a neighbor pulls into the driveway, follow 'em, then hover a few yards (safety never takes a holiday!) away as they get out of the car. Or...hover over the center of your street, and watch the reaction of passersby who first see you staring intently into space, then see what you're staring at. The expression is always priceless!
Cyrano...I've seen the Bladerunner, but never flown it. Actually, I think rcgroups.com has a thread all about the comparison, so I'll have to read up.
