I knew I had typed this somewhere...... Took me a bit of searching tho. Copied from here: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_10043135/tm.htm

Here is a logical approach to the "evolution" of RC helicopters:

1 channel: throttle
2 channels: Throttle, rudder
3 channels: Throttle, rudder, elevator (first ability to hover)
4 channels: Throttle, rudder, elevator, aileron
5 channels: Throttle, rudder, elevator, aileron, collective pitch
5+ channels: Throttle, rudder, elevator, aileron, pitch, gadgets (gyro, governor, ect.)

The range you gave means that you would like to pick up a toy flying indoor?

Try to find Metal Micro Helicopter Gyro Indoor. I think you can buy that with your price range.

Status: offline 		I just picked up a HeliMax Axe CX Nano from Tower. Haven't received it yet but every review I read says they're excellent little things. They're still on sale for 49.99, normally 99.99, but I've no idea how long they'll stay that way. Worth checking out.

Status: offline 		The F103 you pictured above was like the ones I bought as gifts for my young nephews; however, it was branded as ZSeries.  One flew well, the other was returned (through Amazon) for being defective.  It is an inexpensive (under $50) 4 channel.  The avatar style rotors give it the lateral movement (banking) that come with a 4 channel heli.

The one you purchased via eBay, even though you state isn't a Syma knock off (I agree with you), looks to be very similar to the Syma s107 (the flybar looks different), which is a nice little 3 channel heli.  I would recommend the s107 to anyone for a 3 channel helicopter.

If you are staying in the $15 to $35, then you are really looking at a 3 channel toy heli (like the Syma s107).  Don't be offended by the word toy.  They are fun to play with, but when limited to 3 channels, you are really only geting something fun to play with, inexpensive and easy to fly.  You will learn a little, but navigation skill development will be very limited.  Also, toy helicopters have limited parts available (other than what is included with the helicopter), which in my opinion is a huge downside.  Hobby quality helicopters usually have an abundance of spare parts available online and at your local hobby shop.

If you bump your budget a little, it would probably be better to go with a hobby quality 4 channel.  You can potentially learn some habits that are difficult to break with a 3 channel when you eventually move on to a 4 channel version.  And personally, I think 4 channel is as easy to fly, if not easier.

Have fun with the new heli that you have coming your way.  Let us know how you like it.
