Default what to get???

Hi There

I know there are quite a few posts on what someone new to the hobby should get, but i wanted to write exactly what i am looking for and maybe someone can help.

Iam new to Helicopters but not to RC (cars and trucks).

I am looking for an electric helicopter that is between 20 - 30 inches to fly outdoors only. I have just ordered a micro indoor one, (Metal frame 4ch 2.4GHz RC Gyro Helicopter 5888).

i would like it to be gyro, lipo batteries, as easy to fly as possible and something that i will be able to get parts for fairly easy. I don't want to spend more than $300.

Ihave spent hours reading reviews but i am a bit overwhelemed.

thanks very much!

J

Esky. Get their 350. From what I can tell it's a Raptor clone and is attainable at that price. Let me just say that it is going to be a bit much for a beginner. I startedwith a cx and now have a fp and even with what I know now that one is going to be a handful. Just a thought man. If I can find the link ton those choppers I'll let you know.
