Do you mean sub micro like the small coaxial toys with up/down left/right control. Or a full function micro? (4 channel or more with functioning cyclic and tail rotor).

Hi,
Sorry I'm still learning the lingo.Along the lines of the Helimax rotofly,Dexterity blue arrow 3D.Heli pro sub micro type helis.
Maybe including house fly styles but I like the looks of the single main rotor blade scale types.Collective pitch not a must, I don't
plan on trying any 3D so fixed pitch will do.I'm trying to leave some room for tips on a good indoor flier that's made & flies well.
I read some really unhappy Dexterity blue arrow customers,I think that heli looks great & seems built well,but if it don't fly good so much for that idea.
Thanks for the reply,
RTC

Yes, those are nice little heli's but, their prices are a bit steep. If you want a good, easy to learn, co-axial heli, I suggest an ESky Lama V3. If you'd prefer a convential style heli (main and tail rotor), for a sturdy, crash resistant and easy to learn heli, either the ESky Honey Bee 4 or the Walkera Dragonfly 4 (fixed pitch) would be a good choice. All are very affordable @ around $100.00 and the site I will list below offers free training gear and a PC cable along with a downloadable flight simulator so you can get a feel for the thing before you attempt actual flight.
Here's a site which has video's and detailed descriptions of all 3 I mentioned plus several others.

I bought an E-Flite Blade CX2 (which is a co-axial) which is also a very stable flyer and easy to learn BUT, because I didn't do enough research before hand, I ended up paying almost $300.00 for the heli, an extra battery pack, training gear and extra blades. Also, unlike the ESky and Walkera heli's which have hinged blades or breakaway blades (so that they'll fold when they impact something), the CX2's blades don't have this feature and have a tendancy to tear or even shatter on impact with a solid object which can sometimes do further damage. I've already had to replace the lower rotor head because of that.
