Like spurry said, and many others have said to you many many times, if you buy a cheap "TOY" rc, you will be throwing a lot of money away and get maybe one or two flights before it is trashed. RC helicopters are not hard, but if you are impatient, they are almost impossible.

If you are serious about getting into RC, figure out where you want to start, cars, planes, helis, and then find someone that can help you and a club.

I would suggest starting with a .40 size gas trainer and a good 6 ch radio and a good engine. Get an instructor and learn to build it and fly it. It will last a long time. You can get into helis later. It will be easier then. You can do them first if you want, but get a good sim first.

I have seen the electric helis and I really don't think they make a great trainer. My boss had one and the parts were expensive, and the heli didn't fly well. I dont think you can beat a raptor 30 as a trainer from what I have seen.
