Default Helicopter for a Beginner

I flew planes some time ago, now want to try Electric Helicopters, lost most of my fingers in a fire hear, but can still operate the RC gear, no transport just now so difficult to go to Local Club who only fly Fixed Wings anyway, an E Heli i could practice outside my house with, even a Simulation on a Comp might help too i think, any advice on what model to get, would be great

Hi Fingerless

U can either go for:
Corona - Suitable for outdoor?
BTT Cupid - May be good for beginner. Parts are cheaper also.
GWS/Feda Dragonfly 2004 (I wonder out already or not? If not then GWS/Feda Dragonfly 2003)
Century Hummingbird - Share the same parts with Dragonfly

Super-Hornet

I agree with those. I have a Hummingbird and it's very stable for such a small machine. Suitable for indoors or calm days outside. I had a Corona and it was a stable machine and able to handle a bit more wind.

Good luck,

Mike
