Indoor helis are an interesting subject. Co-Ax heli's have two sets of rotors on top that counter rotate (spin in opposite directions) they are very stable and fun and easy to fly. On the other hand, they are not as responsive as small single rotator fixed pitch heli's. The small FP heli's are twitchy and somewhat difficult to learn on. Mid sized heli's or larger heli's (larger than palm size) are more stable and easier to learn on.

You should talk to John at www.rchobbyhelicopter.com he lives in Arizona in a location that is windy alot. He has great knowledge and wont steer you wrong.

I have purchased a few heli's from him. One FP that I'd recommend is the Walkera 4-3b. It is twitchy and although good out of the box requires some tweeking. On the other hand, I have heard and read that the Hirobo Quark is ROCK SOLID and fairly easy to fly. It carries a pretty price too...around $300...

You should definitely look into a decent simulator. I run Realflight G4. It's a good program, not cheap either but it has paid for itself in learning instead of crashing my real heli's.

Hope some of this info helps. Keep reading and doing research.

Take Care

Henry
