RE: First Helicopter
No helicopter that I know of will fly outdoors for under $50.
The ones you're looking at are really toys more than they are hobby grade helis. Not to say they aren't good for the money but there really is no parts support and if something breaks you can pretty much just throw it out.
The cheapest hobby grade helis I can recommend are the esky lama v4 or the eflite mcx, both just over $100.
