Recommend me a (RC) Helicopter...

[kevin11951]

I ordered a Syma S107, and I absolutely love it!

Christmas is coming up soon, and I have decided to get a larger "real" heli...

I would prefer a "3D" heli (I assume those are the ones that can fly upside down, and do flips, etc?), because I wan to be able to grow into/learn how to control one.

Right now, I am currently looking at this heli, any others you would recommend?

The most powerful heli I have flown is the Syma S107, and it would be nice to get something that is easy to fly and stable at the start, but that I can grow into and do "3D" stunts with...

I know this isn't the best place for this, but I don't know anywhere else...

PS. I just wanted to add that I would like to try to keep it in or around $200.

I got a heli from Thinkgeek that is the same as the Syma S107 and I too want to get a better one.

Here are some of the ones I am looking at:



Falcon 40 (http://www.amazon.com/4-Channel-Remote-Control-Helicopter-Ready-/dp/B002ZWEGA6/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1287287677&sr=1-1)

Honey Bee King 3 (http://www.amazon.com/Esky-6-Channel-2-4Ghz-Helicopter----New/dp/B001MYIOD8/ref=sr_1_9?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1287287677&sr=1-9)


I think I still want a simple heli, but want to try a four channel over a 2 channel.

Have a look at these, I am starting to lean towards them:

At work, we were given a SYMA SCWEIZER 300 for free from a supplier. Not 100% sure why, but hey. So I have tried it once in the warehouse and it is huge fun.

If anyone is interested, I have decided to order the Honey Bee FP V2...

It comes highly recommended by this man:

He also has many videos on how to fix various issues, and how to set it up when you first get it...
