Default suggestions for 'mini helis?'

because of crazy weather I can't practice or fly my helis outside at all I believe it'll continue for the rest of the month. I am planning on buying a small heli and non-coaxile such as falcon 40. Any suggestions? I would like something as small as falcon 40.

what price? The new Hirobo SRB or the Gaui ep100 or ep200 are good choices and better quality.

Cheap begets cheap. The 4#3 is not the heli you want, you'll probably never get it flying, and if you do manage to get it flying you'll spend far more than 100$ in parts to learn how to hold a hover.
Small helis like the 4#3 are MICRO, that means they are twitchy and hard to comtrol. Yes people have learned to fly on them, they problably spent a lot of cash and time learning to repair their heli though.
GO for a HBFP or similar is my very unexperienced reccomendation.

well there's not too much size differ between HBk2 and HBFP.. I'm looking for very small and cheap ones. I would even rather coaxile if 4#3 is that bad.

I dont get why you dont want Co-axle theyre great for indoor flight, and they are quite similar not exact to the 3D helis. Very stable flight youll be get fliying around your house within a week. I ordered the Rah-66 Co-Comanche but wish I got the Dauphin 2.4 ghz from helidirect for 150 bucks or something its got lights for night flying and sturdy frame. Just putting my 2 cents in about the dual axle.

The Lama IV my freind had not the 2.4 GHZ but it broke second day if you check the rarting on the LamaIV their not to great, the dauphin suppost to be alot sturdier plus with built in light you cant go wrong plus its better built.
