Whatever you do dont get a Reflex stripped a gear after 4 days and since you can't replace gears. I would recomend a Lama v4 I don't have one but they are supposed to be good.

EDIT: here's the link to Lama V4 http://www.hobby-lobby.com/lama-v4.htm

heli kid,, hitm,,, walkera is getting better... they use to really suck but with all of the negative feedback they are getting they wised up a little.. almost any heli you get there is going to be something someone dont like about it.. like with the eskyhbking,,the motors sucks,, with the hbfp,,the skids suck,,, and so on and so on.. the walkera 52 is an alright heli.. remember though...you get what you pay for.. best to spend a little extra and get someting you really like rather then just go for a cheap price,.

Sure! But realistically, all RC class transmitters have a range that FAR exceeds your visual range. The helis get too small to see them well enough to fly. I rarely fly my helis higher than tree-top height.

Hmm that's a tough one the best I can tell you is Honey Bee FP you can hover it in a garage but it's primarily for outdoor.

If you want to gain more flying skills & want a challenge over what you're now flying, definitely go for the Honeybee FP. Plan on crashing some & replacing minor parts breakage. Good news is that the HB FP parts are really cheap.

Otherwise, if you want something that pretty much flies itself & is more stable, like you're flying now (only bigger and more controllable), consider the Lama V4. It's the coaxial (counterrotating blade) design & once you get it tweaked into trim, will pretty much hover on it's own & is very maneuverable. I've had mine all afternoon & can already (kinda) chase cars with it

I got it for weekend flying in the office at work, where the Air Hogs-type 2 channel helis are getting boring...

I'm always for recommending the HBFP, but its NOT meant for outdoors, sure you can fly it outside, but more then likely the wind will take it and you'll get to watch it pull some really exciting 3D moves before smashing into the ground , the HBFP is great for garages, large rooms, semi enclosed areas. But if you were looking for a heli to play with outside, the HBK II is on sale at Ka-Planes for $129.99, only $30 more then the HBFP except that will be able to fly outside without becoming a kite.
But it'll take alot more set-up time, where as the HBFP requires almost no set-up time, great for beginners , and it'll take a crap load of abuse.
