All round it's a good, reliable brand of helis. Though I have heard occasionally that parts have been a bit hard to come by, especially for the larger birds, so you might want to check before you get one. I don't think the Hawk Sport (the predecessor to the Pro) does too well in the 3D department - unles you did some upgrades (spacers and a few other things). The Hawk Pro could handle it nicely though & the Raven 50 even better. All depends what size you have in mind.
By the way - welcome back to the rc heli world
