Default RE: Looking for a Heli

get something like a colco lama or a esky lama, even a walkera 5#5 all in the $100-120 range, these MIGHT be able to hold a TINY camera. (id'e pick the colco have done days of research for many many choppers and this strikes me as best)

co axials are very easy to fly, IF you are gentle and go slow.

do not get something single bladed or too big, single rotor choppers are very hard to fly and are never recommended to a noobie like yourself.


you will crash and you will break parts, if you dont like repair and learning curves, dont buy one. once you learn to fly even a co-axial its the greatest feeling off bliss and is very addicting.

as for a store helicopter heaven (cheap, nice, hand tunes your chopper) or ushobbysupply (nice, very knowledgeable, great to deal with) avoid bannana hobby at all costs!!!!!!!!!!!

welcome and have fun.
