I am looking into getting a heli for the fist time after flying airplanes for 15yrs and wonder if this heli is a good one to go with? http://www.hobby-lobby.com/honeybee3.htm

I'm also wondering if this would be a good ship for using a micro camera for first person view flying? Is there some kind of module you can buy to make it stabalize by itself when you let go of the control stick? That would be very helpfull when you are doing fpv missions. Less multitasking.

Will be planning on getting a system that comes with virtual reality glasses. I have been searching for some time I'd say for few years. Can anyone tell me the perfect website that you have had excellent luck? I don't want to by the wrong kind of system and be dissapointed.

I want something that can hover instead of mounting it on a plane because of less moving parts. I don't want to get the gyro sensor moving camera mechanism, too expensive and more of a hassle so I said why not a heli is the perfect platform anyways plus you can get into tigher areas.

I live on a acre neibhorhood area and it's the perfect flying site for a heli anyways.

Thanks!!
p.s. I have read all the info I can possible attain and it's rather tiring to try to figure out what is out there that is reliable and relatively easy to use.

I would suggest getting the heli and learning to fly it first.

Once you have mastered that, THEN you can start thinking about adding a camera

Yeah I wondered someone was going to say that, but on the other hand do any of you think the one I show the link to the heli is a good to start out? Or is that one too advanced?
I really like to use a stabalizing module system something like eagle tree came out with for airplanes I don't know if they have it for heli's as well. Any input on that?
