Default Making the leap

I want to start with indoor heli's but am confused by the enormous number of options available today for that class of helicopter. Here is what I "think" would make a great indoor or indoor/outdoor heli for my Spektrum DX7 transmitter:

Plug-n-play DSM2 compatible, 4-7 channel
heading lock gyro
Brushless 3 cell lipo
Very stable and well mannered for the beginner
Very tough beginner model
under $200.00 US
Nice extra would be ability to fly well outdoors in light wind
Nice extra would be gyro hover stabilization in 3 axis (won't move unless pushed by wind or directed to move with controller)

Please make recommendations for brands or specific heli's that best meet these requirements.

Why all the focus on stability? I am 63 years old and a little bit slow with coordination.

Thanks for helping me get started.

Mike
