After watching my friend fly a very small electric heli in his house, it really got me interested in these things.

With my other r/c hobbies, I really can't afford to dive into another one completely. So I'm wondering if there are any good r/c helis which exist maybe in the $75-$100 area I suppose. I know that is very cheap, so I don't expect anything big from it. Maybe something with less channels etc just for fun.

Thanks.

A coaxial heli will be an inexpensive heli that will be fun for indoors and not to hard to learn to hover. Anything else will be more difficult to fly. which means you will crash and spend much $.
RC Heli = expensive hobby.

Price looks right on that lama.

I'm not sure if I can really tell any difference in specs, but, what about the Lama 4? http://www.hj2k.com/store/proddetail.php?prod=EK1H-E033

I take it any 6-ch heli would be out of the question for me? I noticed this one which looked like a do-able price, but not sure if I could control it: http://www.hj2k.com/store/proddetail.php?prod=ESKY3D6B

yeah, the price would be there, but unless you take it really slow, you could end up paying as much in repair costs as you did for the heli in the first place =) If you don't have the budget to allow for that just incase, you might want to consider something else.
