Default 3-D Electric Heli Recommendation?

Hi guys. I am a turbine jet modeler that has not had time to fly much this year due to my work situation. I have flown helis in the past and my skill level is such that I was starting to do some 3-D stuff and inverted. I am interested in a small electric machine that is capable of flips, loops, autos, inverted, etc. Something I can fly in my backyard or even in a gym. Something Raptor sized at the biggest or even much smaller, as long as it is capable. What is out there, who makes it, what do you need (upgrades?), and where can it be found and for how much $$$? Don't wanna spend a fortune, but will spend some $$$ for performance.

Thanks guys, it is appreciated.

After seing the Hornet Flybarless vid on HeliHobby, I'd say you want that. I am a Newby to heli's though so you might want someone with experience for help, Just my .02!

Does anyone know of a link that shows a Shogun/Zoom/Zap doing some aggressive 3-D and/or inverted? The one that is linked to several of the pages that have Shogun for sale is rather lame. The dude has a shirt on that says "Shogun Demo Team", but all he demos is some indoor forward flight in a gym. I have not flown a heli for three years and I could easily do that tomorrow. I want to see the machine taken to its capability!
