I am keenly interested in the radio controlled helicopter hobby. My question is this, can a beginner with no experience get into this hobby for around 200 dollars? I have seen compleat," ready to fly kits ", on eBay selling for as little as $117.00, new! " the Dragon 22E ". Which is an electric powered R/C helicopter, is this model a good beginners R/C helicopter kit ? The seller claims that everything needed to start flying is included in this kit package, is this true? Has anyone purchased this, or a similar kit ?
Since first posting this question, I have learned a lot about radio controlled helicopters. " THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AREADY TO FLY " R/C helicopter. You need to understand how to set up your new R/C helio, before that first flight, and it is also good to understand how the real thing flys," How Things Work.com is a good place to learn that ". You also need to be able, analyze what happened just before a crash," and you will crash many times", before becoming a top R/C helio pilot. You also need dealer, and company surport, + AFFORDABLE SPARE PARTS.

Answer
WOOOOOOO slow down man!!!Have you ever flown a R/C plane?You will never be able to fly a helecopter trust me.I fly the planes and they are extremely hard to learn at 1st.You could probably get a used one off ebay for that money,but i garunty even your local hobby shop guy will guide you away from flying a helecopter,you can also see if your hobby shop has a flight simulater,most do and try flying one one there.But if you've made your mind up and are going to get one i would suggest ebay or ..http://rcuniverse.com or http://rcjunkyards.com they have forums there to ask questions on ,also used rc items for sale.Good luck,and happy flying=)

Are any Radio Controlled Indoor Helicopters strong enough to carry a beer to me?

I thought it would be great if my spouse and I could transport bottles or cans to each other using one of those radio-controlled indoor helicopters or some other flying indoor RC type toy. Do you think they make one with strong enough lifting power to get that beer from one couch to the other?

Answer
No, but the real question is whether you think you're a good enough pilot that your spouse would want something with blades spinning that fast that close to his/her head/hand.
