Learn to Fly 3d RC Helicopters

Just curious if anyone has tried the Cyclone blades. The shape of the blade is unique. It is tapered towards then end and has a variable foil shape that is supposed to provide high speed tracking and excellent 3d capability.

As i posted in another thread, I am trying to learn 3d and discovering its not the easiest thing to do. I was wondering should i be using a smaller helicopter to learn - like a micro size. I am at the stage of learning inverted figure 8s. Would a smaller helicopter be easier and cheaper do you think? I dont have lots of money to throw at my larger helicopter. If so which helicopter?
Drones have been making news quite often in the past few months - often for the wrong reason however. As a plane was making a descent into Los Angeles International Airport it nearly collided with a drone hovering at 4000 feet. Shown below is the effect of a Bird strike on a jet
