I am also interested in a beginner heli; electric; but my initial desire is to fly only in my house. Maybe I will change my mind after awhile but that is where I am starting.
Some experience with planes, have had 4 of the coutnre rotation styrofoam heli toys. I think these are sold in US as Air Hogs but where I am they are just all Chinese branded. These are great fun but have no directional control for the most part. It's just up and down. But they are almost unbreakable.
I'm looking for a step up from this; some better directional control but some character flaws (glitching) ok
Any ideas?
Regards
Check out the e-Flite Blade mCX. Follow [link=http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLH2200]this link[/link] to see it's product page on Horizon Hobby. It's very stable, durable, and it has much more maneuverability (rotate left/right, fly forward/backward, and fly sideways left/right and combinations of these) than a "toy" helicopter.
There's also a 24+ page thread about it, going from the announcement of it's release to now. It includes people's impressions in stock form, repair advice, modifications, and upgrades. It's located [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_7766074/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm]here.[/link]
