Default Ready to purchase a electric heli. Which one??

Hey guys,

I'm getting ready to buy a micro heli and want to spend no more than 200.00.
I have read a lot of posts on these birds and it seems that most of them take a lot of work to fly right. I used to have a raptor 30. I had it for about 4 months and learned to hover very well and did some nose in flying. I'am looking for something to 3D in the future after I get all of the rust out of my system.

Which cp heli is dependable? It seems that the Honey Bee 3d takes a lot of work just to fly right. Is this true? I'm looking for a complete package for around 200.00 but dont want to invest my time if these birds dont fly well. Thanks in advance for the comments.

That's a pretty tall order.

I think your going to have a hard time finding a GOOD complete package collective pitch 3D micro heli for $200, you my get lucky and find a used one for that price (MAYBE).

Yeah I kind of figured that too. These micros sound soo appealing for 200.00 with electronics.
I guess you get what you pay for. When I meant complete package I was referring to the combos
like the Honey Be 3D which comes with the radio,battery etc....

That's the exact combo I was looking at but have read several negative reports about poor flight quailty.
