You say some experience with gas heli, what kind of experience are we talking here?

I really like my E-Flite Blade CP. It is capable of way more than I am, but it was a little above your price range. I think it was about 200 but that was a few years ago.

I am willing to go higher, i just figured that 150 was a fine number because of the heli max,

what do you think about the Falcon 400 v2? is it a good priced heli and responsive.

Looking for a CP RTF Eletric HELI, dont want to spend anymore than about 150.00

I would like to get something that is durable and easy to fly.
I dont want one that is palm size. I was looking at a few and the Axe CPv3 seems to look pretty good for the money. If anyone has any imput on this that would be great.

thanks

Experience:
I have some experience with gas heli and airplanes.
Expert with cars..

EastcoastJJ: if you're wanting a heli that will be (comparatively) easy to fly, has everything to get you started and will be enough even when you start getting 'good', then you really can't go wrong with the Blade 400! it especially has the DX6i which will serve you when/if you decide to broaden your hangar!!

like everyone has stated here, you will want to avoid a heli with a tail motor as it ends up being false economy. $150 for a CP heli of moderate size is going to be just that!!!

i have found a really cheap place for the B400 (even cheaper than what i got one for!!) [link=http://www.hobbywarehouse.com/Products/E-Flite_2/EFLH1400-Blade-400-3D-RTF-Electric-Mini-Helicopter]Hobby Warehouse-B400[/link] if you are interested!!

whatever you choose (and after all the decision is yours) have fun, be safe and enjoy

ok, i have come to a couple conclusions.
1. NO Tail Motors
2. Dont buy a cheap CP chopper


so now im at the point of either picking a 400 dollar cp chopper, or a co-axial for 150-200. Everyone agreed not to buy a cheap cp,
; understood.

Also as far as size. Overall I would like the length to be somewhere in the range of 13-26" (nose to end of tail)

So where to go from here? Sorry for all the post, im just not trying to throw away a few hundred on trial and error....

look your not going to get anything but a co-axial or a honey bee fixed pitch heli for your price range
there is ALOT of people that have the honey bee.
i wouldnt tell MY worst enemy to buy any exceed or art-tech heli`s,or heli-max
a co-axail WILL help you in the basic radio function. like nose in hovers,side in hovers. but they really dont fly like a cp or fp.
you WILL NOT find any GOOD cp heli`s for 150 bucks, they just dont have any on the market.

ORIGINAL: EastcoastJJ

yea im not really looking to spend 450 on a small helicopter to use inside. So i guess i should now consider a fixed pitch for now.

So i guess im now wondering which one would be the closest to a regular copter?

Bro, unless you have a gym, you won't be flying anything other than a coaxial inside! Even the HBFP is not suited for indoor flying....unless like I said you have a gym or very large garage.

the term FLYING doesnt mean hovering
actual flying needs room.
aw never mind youve asked the same question in every post.keep argueing about the answers you get, people will stop answering your question`s
you ask for a GOOD 150 dollar cp heli, everyone said theres no such beast.
you asked what to get then, people answered and you said you dont want to waste money.
so heres your choice`s a co-axail or a honey bee.
even with these heli`s you`ll NEVER actually FLY in your house. you may hover, you may do some real real short foward flight, you might even do some figure 8`s, but ACTUAL FLYING not going to happen.
i hover my blade 400 all day long in my house, but is that flying? NO
i play with my 5#10 in my house but is that flying? NO
so sense you dont want to waste 400 dollars on a heli that WILL fly, then get what ever 150 dollar heli you can find, and PLAY with it.
then when your ready for FLYING spend ANOTHER 400 bucks and get something that can do that

i paid $179 for the hlei, it is an acrobatic heli, 6 channel. Transmitter has pitch range centering and pitch curve end point adjustment knobs, and an Idle-up switch for aerobatic and inverted flight modes. i want to learn how to fly and eventially do inverted stunts, just have fun i guess and enjoy what ever i can with it. i guess i could afford at the time about $250. what aer your thoughts? thanks for the help

Im not arguing about the answers im receiving. I am simply getting confused due to the fact that many people have a totally different opinion on what to get.

I originally asked for a cp for 150, and then steered away from that when i realized it was unreasonable.

The dont waste money comment, you clearly took it the wrong way. I simply stated that i did not want to spend money on testing different copters. This is why i am on this forum. Im asking questions. As far as your statement "people will stop answering your question" Thats fine! If im bothering anyone they do not have to reply!

And you dont need a Gym in order to fly a 12 inch helicopter.. Sorry, I never said i would be flying it in my kitchen, living room, basement or bathroom; I simply stated inside.
