Help me pic first "fun" helicopter
I've been flying Rc for years, planes, not Helios. I want to get a small BEGINNER, fly by itself type helicopter to fly around in the yard, street and flying field. Prefer RxR, not RtF, if possible. Something with a little quality, around $75-$100. Any suggestions.? Thanks.

What I would prefer is one I can use my receiver and transmitter with instead of those cheap flashlight battery Tx's. I realize this may not be possible at these prices and how they are packaged. So if I got to get a flight ready one then at least be a quality package. May be willing to spend a little more if need be.
Just for information I recently tried a Litehawk Aero and the smaller XL. They were both ready to fly packages; complete crap and defective right out of the box.

RE: Help me pic first
Blade has a whole line up of small heli's [link=http://www.bladehelis.com/Helis/http://www.bladehelis.com/Helis/]http://www.bladehelis.com/Helis/[/link] and parts can be found almost any where. I only have experience with the MCPX (about $160- $180) so I can't comment on the rest but it was bind and fly so I could use my own transmitter. I'm sure many of the others offer the BnF also but as to which one is the best for you to start with, I'm not sure. Mine I can fly around outside with ease in a small breeze & full 3-d capable.
What ever you buy, always make sure you can easily get parts.
