RE: new copter
like druss has said,, they are fun and very easy to fly.. they make a good indoor copter or outside if there is zero winds. but they are slow and you will get bored with it in a month or two,, maybe sooner.. if you want to stay under 100 bucks try one of these.. they are harder to fly but can zoom around pretty quick.. not really an inside bird except maybe to hover. but you better be pretty good at it.
these two i show here are decent starter birds for under 100 dollars and the parts are cheap to buy. these are also pretty easy to work on. now once you fly these you WILL want a better/bigger one.. they can cost you anywhere from 175 to 1000 dollars or more.. but to start out and if you want something that is fast try one of these.. the first one is from a real good guy.. he will ship it out probably the same day you order it. his shipping charges are very good too. and he is always on this site for q@a's...
his parts are at avery good price too. jake.

here is another... both are pretty much the same bird.. this is also a very good guy to do buisness with.. great customer service.

here is one more... heard good and bad things about this place. i placed 1 order for a cheap sim and had no problems.. this is also pretty much as the 2 above. a lot of the parts on all 3 birds are interchangeable..
