i just got $100, and need input to chose.

1) Blade MCX. the size would be really good for inside my house. as it is winter, i will be flying inside for the most part.
i have seen a vid flying a MCX outside. i will want to do this in the summer for sure.

i would like something a tad larger tho...

2)ESky Co Dauphin 2.4 Ghz 4 Channel.
i have a source where i can buy one of these for $100. the 2.4ghz is nice. it would like nicer flying outside because of its size. but it may be a tad to large for indoor.

any suggestions for a 4 channel helit that is about $100 and is sized in between these two helis?
Or, would you pick one of these?

Hey buddy, 100 bucks will not get that much, remember that you also have to get a radio system to control the heli. Order the MCX for about $129 and it will have transmitter and battery and charger and is perfect in the house. I have one and it flys great and will be perfct as a first machine. As you save your money upgrade to a larger heli later on. Or start now to save your money.

I really suggest that you take that 100 bucks and buy a simulator and you will be able to learn to fly airpanes and helicopters on your computer. I have used one for years and the best pilots and pros started out with the sim before investing in a machine because the cost of repairing the machine cn be very costly. With the sim crash and press a button and reset and fly again. The sim well also last for years to come.

i have flown a 3 channel plane(parkzone slo-v) and got pretty good at it.

i have played with the 3channel micro helis, and can fly them easy(to easy, its boaring)

i think i saw a MCX for $100 on ebay with a controler
and i know i can buy a Esky daulphin RTR for $90 shipped.

im still torn between the 2.

Of these 2, which has higher control/quality?

If you are going for quality, i would probably choose the blade. I have not had any experience with esky but i know that e flite products are high quality. If you really wanted to start flying helis i totally agree with dooleyje.
