heli for first timer
 
I have no flight time on r/c aircrarts or heli but have used a flight sim. for planes. What would be a good heli for me that is not gas and under $170. I was thinking of trying to find a good used on to try it out before i spend too much.
Thanks Tmaxx445

The Eflight Blade cx2 is great indoors and can fly outdoors on a very calm day.

not too many "good" heli's out there for under $170. I'm assuming you're looking for RTF? the best that I can think of that will meet your budget is the esky king2,

Get a brand spanking new Falcon3d for $229 full RTF.

This is a pretty real rc heli with 6 ch collective pitch.

It's probably not going to really do 3d on stock but should be able to do loops and rolls from what I've seen on youtube.

Don't have other helis so can't comment on the Eflights.

Good luck and welcome to the addiction.
