Default Need post surgery entertainment!

Just had hip surgery, am stuck in the house at least 2 more weeks. Am planning to buy an indoor heli to help entertain me (can get around on crutches fine, just can't drive for awhile). 20+ years in land based R/C with some glider experience thrown in. Also got good enough with an Air Hog to reliably land it on the blades of my celing fan 20 feet up (tall celings). Looking for a suggestion for something that will be small enough to have lots of fun with indoors/backyard and have a budget that is $150ish, ideally with some room to order spare parts. Am looking at the Walkera versions of the Novus helicopters, mostly to be able to get parts locally, but am not sure what to buy given my experience level. I'm inclined towards the , but tend to pick this stuff up pretty fast and don't want to get bored. What do you all think my chances are of being successful with a 4#3B or 4G3? Anything else I should be looking at? Thank you!
