Hi,
As some of you guys know i post in the cars and occasionally boats.. Well i am going to be getting a Heli and i i was wondering which is the best bang for the buck under a 150$ new/used?
I am looking at the E-Flite CP
Or the picco
I am looking to do an review on one soon if i get approved so tell me now of forever hold your peace.

I strongly recomend against getting something like a blade or axe. They are very unstable and not durable at all. I suggest you get a lite machines corona. Super durable and fairly stable for there size. You can find them used for under 200 sometimes.

You are not going to find anything worth flying under $200. You can look on eBay.
THe Helimax Axe CP is the best bang for your buck. It's durable and easy to get parts for.

You will find tower hobbies has that heli and has full parts support. Again i will stress that they don't fly well at all and are not durable. A lite machines corona is FP and is dam near impossible to break. Blades are the only thing you will have to replace!!!!
