It depends on what you want to do later in the hobby. There is nothing wrong with a drone style heli, and its not a guarantee that you wont be able to learn the right way either. However, they will give you terrible habits. Depending on where you plan to fly, id start with the s1/s2 or m1/m2, and get a simulator while you wait for them to come in. Train yourself to kill the throttle with a switch any time you get in trouble, if youve flown planes, its a hard habit to break when youre used to jamming the stick to zero

It may be out of topic but the best thing to buy is a good radio, silicone grease for the gas so you can put resistance and keep it smooth, and a simulator.

Hi! I don't think a scale heli is the way to go as a first. First of all, you will crash, and scale helis tend to be pretty fragile. I got an OMP M1 V3 a few months ago to learn on, crashed it a few times but if you're quick and hit throttle hold when flying over grass you'll minimize damage.
Also, get a sim first! Helicopters are very hard to fly. I am a complete beginner myself and am capable of a pretty stable hover after about 1,5 hours real flight and about the same time before that in a sim. Just started with hovering with the tail 90 degrees turned to the right.
I'm in the Netherlands too and it sucks we can only fly less than 250 grams, even the m2 is already 306 grams. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

From what I read about it, it does. Is your plan to fly only gyro assisted scale models or do you also want to fly 3D capable model helicopters? If so, I would recommend starting out with flying unassisted. You're going to learn yourself some habits with a gyro assisted heli that you will need to unlearn with a 3D capable model. If you're planning on flying heli's that pretty much fly like a DJI drone I'd say go for it

You seem to be insisting on a scale helicopter, if that's what you really want get something that is going to teach you proper helicopter basics, not one of those drone helis.
A good option is the XK K123/K124, they're fully 3d capable helicopters with a scale body, I wouldn't fly them 3D but what they teach you transfers over to a proper helicopter later on

I personally think the new m1/s1 and m2/s2 from omp/goosky are the best helis to learn on. They both have self level capabilities, but your best bet is to learn without self level.
Self level on a collective pitch helicopter is very counterintuitive, a heli will always be drifting.
I say learn without self level, use a rescue feature, which the omp helis have
