I've currently got a walkera df 36 for about $180. I'm not having much luck flying and it breaks very easily.

I'm spending much more time fixing it and waiting for parts than actually flying and learning. The best way to avoid crashing is to learn how to fly ofcourse. I'm thinking of getting another helicopter rather than continuing to dump money into repairs.

I'm looking for something very durable. something that can take hard landings. Not sure if that exists.

I'm also looking for something relatively cheap since I only plan to use it to get some experience before I fly the df36.

any suggestions, perhaps nothing exists that is both durable and cheap.
