Ibought the Falcon 40 with extra parts completely ready to fly for under $100 shipped across the US to my door.

Ihave crashed it a few times none too bad, basically just hitting rotors but one time it did flip on its side inbetween a jacuzzi and a rock wall! No damage to anything yet.

It is a fixed Pitch and my first heli. I'm hovering after approximately 3 battery packs. It really isn't too bad to learn on one of these. Iam working on nose-in hovering now.
