Hello, nice to meet you all. Few questions. Sorry in advance for the small wall of text. Tldr at bottom of needed.

When I was younger I really loved rc helicopters. I had a few cheapo ones growing up. And my dad's neighbor had a nice gas powered one that I watched him fly at the park all the time as a kid. That was... 20 years ago.

Fast forward to now. I've owned 2 rc helicopters. Both cheap little 3 or 3.5 like... 30/40$ helis, one long lost and the most recent my tail broke while moving. But Christmas came around and its been about 3 years since I've had one. Seeing a few in the mall reminded me how much fun I had and that I wanted a new one. But this time I dodged the impulse of the cheap chopper.

Looking up videos and info for the last week and a half I've come across Atleast some knowledge and useful stuff. And I've come to the conclusion that for my first "good" rc helicopter I should be looking into getting a 4 channel one or, depending on how hard it really is, a 6channel.


Tldr; help me get what helicopter I should for being fairly new.


Questions ahead.

So I have around 150 or so, and am wondering.

Should I go with a 4 channel or 6 channel?

How hard are they compared to each other?

And, of course, what do you guys think is the best should go for with my price range?
Band/channel/size.

I'm honestly not too concerned about size. I don't want it tiny, or micro. But something that can handle outside.
