Sounds like the OP just wants a toy to go and break. To actually fly RC requires a minimum $400 investment (that's if you are a good shopper) and a rather long training period (as compared to other hobbies) before the fun starts. Toys will get up in the air and might even land a few times without breaking, but they won't do much else.
Yeah, I'm a big believer in the power of the introductory flight. 5 minutes on a buddy box with a flight instructor and an Avistar and all doubt about this hobby left my mind! Anybody thinking about trying this hobby who actually got to fly a decent glow trainer would either be hooked or would know this hobby isn't for them.
I just hope my wife never stops to add up just how much that "free" introductory flight cost me!
