RE: 250$ to spend
ok, here's what you should do, if you want a great flying, stable, CP, mid sized electric micro, you'll want a walkera dragonfly 36, no extras, just the lowest price you can find. go to grandrc.com and pick up an align 420LF and an align 35/25A ESC (if you're expecting to do 3D go for a 35A ESC) and 11, 13, 15T pinnions (bottom link in sig) then, take a trip to maxamps.com and pick up a 2100mAh li-poly (11.1v) with a deans connector and 2 extra male deans plugs. your price is at 250 now, if you strain the budget you can get a decent li-poly charger for your li-poly. (about $30)
