Yup I Singapore... The heli you choose would be a very good choice for a first heli as I plan to get it myself. But it comes with a radio which can be a restricted item...

Its a CP heli but its small so most you can do is damage something in your house or get a scratch... Should be safe for first time flyer...

If you friend is coming ask him to get the http://radiocontrol-sports.com/msr-x-rtf.html which you choose... The HK FBL100 is a clone of the blade so a better product in a way. Comes with a radio if its RTF

Few terms to know

RTF - Ready to fly (comes with everything you need including batteries, radio and chargers)
ATF - Almost ready to fly (mostly missing, radio, servos, gyro, motor)
BNF - Bind and fly (Need radio transmitter which is compatible)
Kit - You have assemble it yourself... Comes with just the frame and gears straucture

Singa hobby is kind of expensive as they mostly keep pro kits

another website to consider - http://shop.rotor.com.sg/ I am going tomorrow to pick up a kit .,... look out in the show off section:p

Msrx is actually a fp helo but without the stabilizer bar right? So it behaves like a cp helo.

What is your review on 120sr?

Sorry I am no expert and do not own this heli to give you a review.. I cant buy it as I dont have a DSM transmitter... But it seems like a good option as its flybarless so less parts which can break and flybarless is supposedly more stable.

The 'mixing flybar' is the jargon for that stabilizer. Did some readup. Seems that the flybar is what makes ur heli hover at the spot in case u let go of the control sticks. Whilst in a cp or a flybarless desigs, the heli keeps going in the direction u let it go, even after you've let go of the stick. So ideally, according to the material I read --

Heli with flybar - good for beginners, very annoying for pros because of the pendulum stabilization effect.
Heli without flybar -- good if you're transitioning from fp to cp.
 
Tadaaaaaaaahhh!

Flybar helis is old technology. All the newer RC helicopters are now flybarless (FBL). The FBL unit in a FBl helicopter allows it to be flown without a flybar.
I would advise you to go for a Fixed Pitch helicopter as it is a good starting point. Once you can fly a FP heli - you will be able to use this skill on a CP heli.

blade 120SR is a nice heli. I dont think you will get spares for it in India.
I would not advise spending for any upgrades - use it stock
also do not stock up on too many spares
use it for learning and then upgrade to a bigger/better model like ALIGN 450 ;)

Hmm yes, But the way I'm crashing it around, sooner or later I fear that one of the rotor blades is gonna break. Just want those spares
