Default Thinkin of a project. Need some help

Ok, well I've never flown anything by remote control and I have been lookin for a hobby. Keep in mind I'm not expecting this to be easy to grasp or learn. Well I got to thinkin I would like to have a rc helicopter but I also wanted to do a little modification to it. I wanted to build a bb gun to mount to it. Anyways, I got to looking around and I learned the battery controlled helicopters only last about 10-15 minutes and I figure they probably won't fly very well with any extra weight. Gas powered is too expensive for me simply because im new to this and that the probability of me crashing is high. I was also thinking I would like to mount a wireless camera as well. So does anyone have any suggestions on helicopters that might be effecient for this? My budget is about 200-300 bucks. Or shouldI just try an airplane or simply an rc car or tank? any suggestions would be appreciated.

I don't think you're going to find too much in that price range. You might be able to get a camera on a Blade 400.

Ok, I'll probably just get a cheap one and consider doing this project later.

You want to put a BB gun on it?..... That's dangerous and not advisable.

Start off with a RTF belt CP...good to learn with and under 300 bucks. It's a smaller one so probably not going to be putting bb guns on it.
