You need to start off with a contra rotating blade model, I can vouch for the Twister bell

For your 1st flights keep the tail towards you, don't chase the trim (think how'd you behave with a tank slapper, gentle control and don't over compensate) and once you get a few feet off the ground you won't have ground effect (rotor wash) so things will be a little easier to control.
Word of warning, be careful with Li-po batteries, they can be prone to swelling and there is a small explosion risk if they get overloaded. Mine get transported in a ammo box.
If you've bought a model with 3D capability I can assure you your 1st flight will be very short Any questions and I'll do my best to answer

I feel I may have bitten off more than I can chew
edit to add....yep I did bite off more than I could chew but had the sense to realize before I even opened the packaging...returned it to the store and have ordered something more suitable for a complete heli newbie
moral of story..don't drink and ebay
