You could get a blade CP pro or a Falcon complete package within that budget. If your looking for a glow chopper I think you'll have trouble finding a complete heli package for under $500 unless you come across a good used heli deal.

I would Highly recommend the Align T-REX450XL. It is the best of the best in electric 3D helis in that size (built like a raptor glow machine).

Heliproz has a very nice combo packages with electric speed controller, gyro, Blades & brushless motor for $319 thus leaving you with enough for a good high quality radio & Lipo packs

It is rather small, but don't let that fool you. it is quite 3d capable & an outdoor & indoor machine.

A TRex combo for 319 is pretty good but since his limit is about 500 Id like to know what kind of high quality radio and lipo youre gonna get for 200. Youll barely get a spektrum radio for that. Id have to say go for a Falcon. Its a lot more stable than the Blade series, comes with a lipo and brushless setup and is RTF. I dont think youll get much better than that for the money. I actually think theres a backorder sale at Hobbylobby right now on it as well.
