RE: First RC Heli suggestion
homeunt, just as a note, many of the ones you see on ebay are either 2 ch or 3 ch not 4 ch which is why they are so cheap. if you do an ebay search for apache 4 ch you'll find they aren't that cheap. make sure that you take shipping into account because a lot of the guys on ebay try to sell for a low price and high shipping as the percentage they pay to ebay is only on the item cost not the shipping. this means that if they sell for $50 w/ $50 shipping they will pay less to ebay than if they sell for $75 and $25 shipping.
All that aside, i'd still suggest the esky lama v3.
