Default Winter is coming, What is the best micro ?

Well winter is rapidly approaching here in the north east and I wont be able to fly outside.
I’m thinking of getting a micro size Heli to get me through the winter. I’m looking for something that has full collective pitch and a belt (preferred )or gear driven tail.
Anyone with experience with micros that could tell me what they think is the best and worst?

Thanks

Not interested in planes, I'm looking for a micro heli. Something small enoough to Fly i a large room or in the garage. The Honey Bee King 2 looks like its about the right size and has belt driven tail.

HBK2 is a little bigger than a blade CP. Is that the size your looking for?

The blade cp's size would be better but I'm not sure the blade CP or CP pro is what I'm looking for. The Blade CP uses a tail motor and a 3 or 4 in 1 controler. I dont find that idea appealing. To really get what i want i would have to upgrade it to belt drive I've seen this kit somewhere and it was expensive.

I "hover" a Blade CP and HBK2 in the 10' x 14' space in my garage during bad weather. The Blade CP gets about 12-15 hours of flight per tail motor and about 15-18 for the main motor. I do not fly either heli in the house due to the headspeeds that they produce.

The K2 with an upgrade BL motor/ESC and a 1250-1500mAh battery makes for a decent and stable heli. The Blade CP is also, IMO, a very good heli.
