Default New Helicopter?

Hello ppl, I am thinking about buying an Rc Heli at the end fo this year, but wanted sumthing not so expensive, 150 bukcs is ok, electric, most fly indoors... Read about the Venom Night Ranger II, but sum say its very unstable and u have to change the trims as the battery goes down. So, whats the best thing I can buy?

So: RTF Electric Heli to fly indoors under 200 bucks (maybe sum more). Durable. Not coaxial, they doesn`t seem to be cool lol

Thanks x)

ps: Thinking about this one here ( http://www.hobbytron.com/SRCDarkKnig...elicopter.html ), the Dark Knight. Seems good. or not?
What about Blade CP Micro?

you'll probably not be able to fly the cp models inside. Once you get really good some people can, but usually not to start with. Overall there are mixed things to say about hobby tron, so I'd stay away from them even though they are right down the street from me.

the venom series are not too popular so it may be harder to find parts for them. You might want to consider buying a heli that your LHS stocks parts for. If you want a non coax heli for indoors, then check out the falcon 40 or the honeybee fp or something like that. Coax for indoors flight is your best bet though, either the cx2 or the lama v3 or v4

If its under $150 go with a Blade CX ( NOT CP). Now, under $200 go with a HBK2 which may-be the best heli you can get.

The honeybee and the falcon 40 are pretty much the exact same thing. Pretty much it's just the color of the canopies. Nearly all of the parts interchange as well. =)

Think I`m decided. Getting the falcon 40... At the end of the year... Are u sure I can see it in stock on stores normally?Because I`m going into a cruise, and we`e going to stop at Punta del Este, in uruguai and MOntevideo. Trying to buy my falcon there, but not sure I can get it... Too much expensive here.... Anyway of getting it?

Get the Falcon 40 RTF or a HPI Micro Drift x)

no idea about the stock in other countries, but basically the falcon 40 is a mail order helicopter. All of the 4ch FP heli's are for most LHS's. A few carry the venom night ranger fp, but it's probably just a mail order heli

Gonna get the travel board, choose a store in the place and see what I can get... Or maybe just talk to my brother, because he is buying a new helmet at the end of the year from europe, so, who knows?

I doubt you'll find it in Punta Del Este, small tourist town, Maybe in Montevideo as it's the capital and pretty large but you may have to take a long taxi ride as there's not much near the port area. I don't know of a specific hobby shop as it's been many years since I lived there. Either way it's not going to be any cheaper than where you are and certainly more than mail order.
