David

Where to find Syma S107 Helicopter review and best price online? I would like to buy new one from a reliable web store. Is Syma S107 parts available online?

I would like to hear your valuable suggestions and opinions before going to buy this product.

Expecting your reply

Thanks in Advance.

Answer
Own the New Syma S107 Remote Controlled Helicopter and experience the fun of flying one of the best and modern mini RC helicopters. This is the smallest and lightest RC helicopter on the market today produced by the well know brand Syma.

The New Syma S107 Mini Indoor Remote Controlled Helicopter can literally fit in the palm of your hand at approximately 7.5 inches long and weighing in at only 34grams. It is equipped with latest Gyroscope technology which is used to stabilize the helicopter's heading, not seen on many old style mini helicopters. The S107 comes equipped with a high grade metal body frame and not a delicate piece of plastic that many RC helicopters are made from.

You can go to amazon, from where you can buy Syma S107 helicopter best price online. To know Syma S107 customer reviews and price

looking for a mini rc helicopter?

shor_d_ing

i used to have a cheap mini rc helicopter and it was not very stable. it quickly was misplaced.
the other day a friend was playing with his new mini heli and it was extremely stable and easy to fly. he said it was a syma. i don't know what model but it was the metal frame.

im wondering if there is any other helis like this out there that are better, his budget was 50 bucks where im willing to spend more. any suggestions?

Answer
DUDE you have to check out the Z-Series Z008 Micro Helicopter w/Gyr !! this is a bad a$$ mini helicopter!! with LED lights

http://www.jatoytown.com/Z-Series-Z008-Micro-Helicopter-wGyro--As-low-as-3382_p_108.html

Its 4ch and VERY VERY VERY stable in the air with an all alloy body! Those cheap plastic 2ch and 3 ch helicopters are very unstable in the air.

This one on the other hand is one of the most stable I have seen for its size. With the hover blades you can even move it side to side which is awesome for a rc helicopter.

the retail on these are 89.99 but tell you what. use coupon code clist30 and that will give you 30% off the entire order which will make that helicopter around 60.00 which is a killer deal for that brand.

There is even a youtube video there on how that little guy flies. Check it out and let me know what you think..

There are other helicopters there too but as far as best mini one, this one takes the cake.

Hope this helps

What is a good rc helicopter under 100 dollars.?

Donnao

I don't want another mini. Something big.

Answer
There isn't one at that price.

I have no idea what big is to you, but to me it means a 400+ class helicopter. For a 'good' one, you are looking at over $400.

You could get a chinese helicopter, but they are cheaply made, and usually you cannot get spare parts for them - when they break you toss them or buy a new one and use the old for spares.

Answer
before you take off from the ground, try hand launching it at head level. Once it is leveled in mid air, then trim it. If nothing, you bought a cheap poorly engineered helicopter. Sorry, but people made cheap helicopters and have been scamming people since the first micro helicopter was made.

RC mini helicopter trimming?

ImAguy

I got a mini rc helicopter today, not sure of the brand. I think it is called a super battleplane item number 8817. and the trimming doesn't seem to work. I can not get to to fly streight. Any ideas/ suggestions?

Answer
I bought two of those Super Battleplane no. 8817 helicopters, and one of them has the same problem you describe. The other one does not do anything. It appeared to charge up properly, but does not respond whatsoever - after trying all possible switch settings - no action at all. So the day after Christmas, I returned to the mall where it was purchased, and of course, the vendor is gone. Fly by night. There is no warranty on the product so I guess I have no recourse. Chalk it up to experience. Caveat emptor. I'll keep trying the trim and tail adjustments on the one copter that's not DOA.

Which Micro Collective Pitch RC Helicopter is better?

mini rc helicopter prices image

Jon

Looking mainly at 2 nano CP Helicopters, the Blade Nano CPX and the Walkera Mini CP 6. I've heard good and bad about both, if anyone personally owns either of these Heli's can you give me some of your own list of Pros and Cons? Also I have only flown FP Heli's and heard the Micro class is best to learn 3D flying. Thanks!

Answer
actually I own both Walkera Mini CP 6 is better in my opnion Walkera is beter

Things I like with the Mini CP.
1. The landing gear is separate from the frame.
2. Servos are mounted very secure and are very close to the main shaft
3. RX mounted vertically. No foam between the RX and frame mount.
4. Canopy mounts with two separate CF rods.

About the Blade Nano CPX
The Cool
Price is great
Cheap and easy repairs
Incredibly durable, lasting and fun to play

Not cool

mini rc helicopter gyro image

Toast It

I bought my nephew an RC mini helicopter the, 9098A with Gyroscope.

The leds on the heli work, bought new batteries for the Remote, and yet I cant get it to fly.
We try ed for multiple times. The manual says I need to get it gyro scoped with the ground. I try ed this and yet it does not work!
Can anybody please tell me how I can get it done so It flys?

Answer
if you haven't flown it in a while or charged it in a while, it could be junk because not charging it in a while could destroy the battery or motor. try taking it back to where you got it from, and get a new one with your receipt. hope i helped!! =}

I'm looking for a good RTF rc helicopter for intermediate flyer?

mini rc helicopter toy image

Matt

I have a Syma mini that I can control really well and I'd like to get a helicopter that has a little more control and that I can fly outside. I looked at the Revell Proto CX but it seems alot like what I already have. I also like the ready to fly option too. Thanks

Answer
I have a Syma mini as well (I just found out what it's called thanks to this question!) and if I were you I would move on to a model that has a swash plate. That way you get a helicopter that functions exactly like a real one, none of these toys. :P Beware though, they are MUCH harder to fly so expect a bunch of crashes. They are also far more powerful and can be flown in a light breeze outside. However, there aren't many RTF kits. I personally love building them but each to their own. If you are willing to build them (if you get a kit that has everything that you need) I recommend a T-Rex 250, they are awesome. I'll be honest; being able to fly one of these counter-rotating helicopters probably doesn't bring you to an intermediate level. If you don't want to build one at all, get the SKYARTEC Wasp Belt 250, it looks like a nice piece of kit.

whats the best micro and mini sized heilcopter with the best gyro?

spartain00

and is about under a foot and at lest have replaceable parts or upgradeable parts

Answer
I always try to steer people away from cheap Chinese junk like Syma... But I have to admit the price is right. Just keep in mind that this is really a disposable helicopter. The quality control is horrendous and you will get no support from the manufacturer. Yes, some spare parts are available, but the design and engineering that goes into these cheap toys leaves a lot to be desired. As a for instance, the speed controls on Syma copters do not have any sort of LiPo cut off, so it can be very easy to ruin the battery.

For just $30 more you can get a true hobby grade helicopter with real manufacturer support if something goes wrong. For micro look at the Blade Scout: http://www.horizonhobby.com/products/blade-scout-rtf-3-ch-heli-BLH2700

For mini's, you have a lot more choices. Align makes some really fine helicopters, as does Blade. In my opinion, one of the better quality of the minis:
http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/cPath/2_382_707/products_id/220852/n/Align-T-Rex-100X-Super-Combo-Electric-RTF-Micro-Helicopter-Kit

Here is a list of quite a few micro's and minis:
http://www.amainhobbies.com/index.php?cPath=2_382_707&n=RC-Helicopters-Kits-Micro-Mini&sort=prl&filter_mfr=

Lastly, I would suggest purchasing a copter at a local hobby shop. That way you'll have local parts support and won't be waiting for the mail to arrive with a replacement part. You can just drive down the road and pick it up the same day if something breaks. A broken copter sitting on the workbench waiting for parts isn't much fun. Not to mention almost every hobby shop will have a knowledgeable person behind the counter to ask questions!

What RC helicopter should I get?

Tactical

I'm 15 and I wanted to get an RC helicopter. I've only had one mini helicopter before but I want to get an Intermediate helicopter, because I'm buying it with my own money and it will most likely be a one time purchase. My budget is only $200.00. I only want the single rotor design (whatever that is called). It needs to be durable and perhaps fast. Also, I would like it to be able to go backwards, forwards, side to side, up, down, hover, and turn left and right (for some reason I think that's called 6 channel). If you could also help me with my terminology, That'd be great. Thanks!
What I meant by single rotor design is I don't like coaxial design. Thank you.

Answer
Blade MCX. Easy to fly, upgrade, and well within your budget.

What is the best beginner RC helicopter? ?

best mini 3d rc helicopter image

I bought a double horse 9100 and I think it is way to advanced to for me. What do you guys think? I already cracked the head cover and a decorative bar is gone (does that matter?) I have flow a mini in door helicopter and that is too easy and I need something to start with that is under $100. Please help I really want to get into this hobby but I've gotten way over my head.

Answer
HI there,

If you find the mini heli too easy i suggest you start with a 250 sized heli. that is not too big, can be flown indoors and even outdoors on easy days.
You could start with a 4 channel (not 3d).

In my experience this is a very good heli to start with:
http://www.rc-heli-review.com/rc-heli-reviews/walkera-hm-v200d02

Easy to fly, very easy and cheap to repair in case you crash it and there are lots of spare parts availible. ALs very strudy model so won't break down on a soft crash.

Good thing is that it's even flybarless wich makes for a superiour flying experience.
Make sure you get the hovering under control before you go all out on the sticks.

It's a little more expensive (150 dollars) but i'll last you a long time before you grow out of this model and you won't break it that easily. If you really want to get into this hobby start out with this one and then after a year you can always upgrade to something bigger and more agile.

Good Luck

How do I build an rc helipcopter with a gas engine or an electric engine. Wich website do I visit to learn mor?

Nwokoye

Answer
I own a thunder tiger mini titan e325 3d its electric and i found it easy to assemble( having never done it before)

you can find this heli at many sites

http://www.towerhobbies.com/#

theirs lots of other places you could buy from too.

i would go with electric to start off. gas can be more complicated.

word of advice dont just buy the helicopter find someone willing to teach you how to do it without destroying it.

sometimes they can even help you set it up.

local RC clubs may be able to help you get more info on the hobby.

trust me get help learning so that you dont crash.

its a great hobby and once you learn can be great fun!

What kind of rc helicopter should I be getting?

best mini rc helicopter 4 channel image

Chance

My dad is going to be getting me something for Christmas, $85 limit. I want a rc helicopter. Ive only had cheap walmart ones before, so i need some expertise. Im wanting a namebrand fairly decent sized helicopter that will be able take some minor crashes. I did a little research and it seems that the Align T-Rex 250 is decent. Any ideas? Remember I have $85 to spend, including taxes and shipping.

Answer
I wouldn't recommend the Align T-Rex 250, and it's over the budget anyways? The smaller the helicopter, the more crashes it can resist, and the cheaper the replacement parts are. Just the battery looks like it's 3 times more expensive than a mini helicopter, and you will need extra batteries if you would like to fly for more than 10 minutes.

Do you have a radio/controller already? If you do, you could buy the BNF version of the helicopter and it will be cheaper. If you don't, then look for the RTF version that comes with a radio/controller.

The Blade MCX RTF is $80 at Horizon Hobby
http://www.horizonhobby.com/products/blade-mcx-rtf-EFLH2200
It's a coaxil heli, so you will have to fly it indoors and outdoors only when it's not too windy. It can take a good beating, better than the t-rex, and the parts are pretty cheap.

These 3 are some I have looked at while I was doing research about rc helicopters when I wanted to purchase one. These are fun, you won't be able to do 3D tricks with them though. It depends how many channels was the one you had, these are 3 channels and good practice.

The Syma S107 is $27 at amazon. It's a beginner helicopter, but it's small and reviews say it does good in taking crashes (4 out of 5 stars).

The Helizone Combat fighter 3.5 Channels looks fun. It's $36.99 on amazon, and you can look up videos on youtube.

The Syma S107C has a built in camera, and it's $39 on amazon.


I purchased the Nano CP X BNF, and a DX6i receiver, and depending your age and experience, this is not a beginner one. But it's just something to look for in the future if you want to get into the hobby. The heli cost me $160 online, and the reciever/controller (DX6i) cost me $70 USED.


You could also suggest to him to look on craigslist for used ones, don't be uptight about it and demand a new one if your father can't afford ones over $85. I bought the DX6i for my boyfriend from craigslist, and it came in original box and everything, for less than half the price, and he loves it anyways. You could find a used Blade MCX or MCX2 for a really good price, and if it's from a person that looks like it's their hobby, it will probably be very well taken care of.


you or your father should check out this forum's for sale threads:
http://www.helifreak.com/forumdisplay.php?f=6

you can also feel free to ask questions on there, or check out the "newbie" section for advice, there has been many people also asking for a beginner heli, so you can read the responses.

Don't try to get a "professional" type helicopter because for those you need to make a bigger investment than just the helicopter. For an advanced heli you need an advanced radio, not the ones it comes with, and you will need to purchase a simulator to practice on because crashing the helicopter will cost you a lot of money!

Goodluck and have fun :)

What kind of rc helicopter should i get?

shaggy8813

I have Absolutely no experience and was wondering what i should get as my first helicopter. i don't want to spend more than $75 or $80 so i was wondering if it is even possible to get a good one if that's the most i can spend. Right now i was looking at the New Esky 2.4G Nano RTF 4 Channel Mini Helicopter. is it good? like i said i have no idea so please help!

Answer
I've been wanting to buy one of those for a very long time. Based on my research, it's best if you get one that uses at least 3 channels with gyro. Also, make sure it uses RF radio and not Infrared because infrared won't work in direct sun light and you have to be within a relatively close range of the heli for it to work. Read the reviews and buy something durable or else your money is down the drain. Also, check on the battery life and whatnot. If the seller says the battery lasts for 10 minutes, it probably lasts 8 minutes.

Where can you buy or make a computer controlled RC helicopter with realtime video?

mini rc helicopter how to fly image

Where can you buy or make a computer controlled RC helicopter with realtime video? I can make it or buy but I don't know where to find it.

Answer
Computer controlled is really hard to make and you will have to know a lot about or just know a person who does electrical engineering to build your own system.

What I would suggest you do is to get a RC helicopter that is very stable to fly like this http://www.xheli.com/50h33-warhawk300-q4-comancheblue.html. This is a coaxial helicopter, it's hover by itself and you wouldn't need to worry much about it. The reason I would use a big one is because there would be more space to store a camera. Most of the cheap coaxial helicopter are only made from plastic with no metal bearings and can only fly up and down anyway.

After you have your copter set up, something like this will help you:
http://hackedgadgets.com/2005/08/10/computer-controlled-rc-helicopter/
http://www.endurance-rc.com/pctx.html <buy an adapter to connect to your transmitter, it should come with software
Note: You may have to re-program the controls in order to control your helicopter from computer.

For the camera, get something like a mini helicopter cam like http://www.xheli.com/72p-90-carcam.html or http://www.xheli.com/72p-52-voicecam.html. Get a electrician to help you design a wireless connection system between your computer and the camera. OR buy a wireless camera out of a shop that can fit into your heli. This website has the technology you talk about: http://www.geekalerts.com/real-time-video-rc-helicopter/

What you may want to search up is UAV helicopter designs. Many people use bluetooth to control their helicopter but I would stick to radio transmitter.

can Remote Radio Control RC MINI Helicopter fly outside in the sun?

MR.S

I wanted to buy a "3 Channel Remote Radio Control RC MINI Helicopter HR" but I am not sure if it can fly outside in the sun, it also says: Controlled by digital technology. Infra red control system .
Does anyone know whats the infra red control system?

Answer
No, the 3 Channel Helicopter you are deciding to purchase can NOT be flown outside if there is sun. The sun disrupts the Infrared beam that is sent to your helicopter.

The range of an IR signal is usually limited to around 30 feet or less. Infrared, also called optical control or opti-control, requires line-of-sight, that is, the LED on the IR transmitter must be pointing at the IR receiver in order to work. It doesn't see through walls. Depending on the strength of the IR signal and interference from sunlight or other infrared-transmitting devices, the range may be shortened. These limitations make IR unsuitable for RC vehicles intended for long-range flight, outdoor racing, and other activities where it may be difficult to stay in range and within line-of-sight.
So... now you know... Let me explain what you might see when you go outside and try. When you go out, you will try to fly your helicopter. It will work, but after a while, itll start flying by itself, and youll lose contorl. It will work, its just that your range is incredibly shortened. It is no rumor, it is true science.

Mechanics, and general clever people, i need help with an invention!?

mini rc helicopter iphone image

John Daily

Ok, so, I am 15, and I have some birthday money to spend. This sounds far-fetched, but I've consulted my clever friends and they say its, somewhat possible. Let me give some background info: take the iPhone 4S, its arguably the most well known phone, the camera is 8MP which is very decent. The actual component costs I believe about $15-20 which is fairly cheap for such an expensive gadget. Would it be possible and HOW would I go about making a, well, essentially a very small flying camera which I would control from my laptop. I'm no genius with things like this so I need advice. I would need a small say, 5MP camera which can film in 720p? I would want the overall thing to be about 1cm in area. How does it fly? To be honest, I don't know, remote control? Is that possible? Basically I would like to control it from my laptop and it would stream the video to me, thus meaning the flying camera, lets call it the flycam, wouldn't need to hold memory. The range it could fly is to be honest as long as possible without sacrificing size. So components would be: camera, some sort of casing, a processor(?), a receptor to send images to my laptop. May I state I do NOT intend to use this device for perverted use haha. I just think it would be a great idea. The gadget I have described is my ideal overall flycam and I just really want to know if its possible and if so, how I go about making it. Thanks loads :)

Answer
First off, kudos for being so creative and thinking about stuff like this; you'd probably make a good engineer.

Next, my main initial question is how do you want the camera oriented? It could be pointing either forward or downward, either on the front or bottom of an RC plane, helicopter, or mini hot air balloon. There are TONS of "vehicles" you can use; you'll probably want to decide that first.

There are a few parts that you'll need regardless of the design. I would go to a hobby store when they have things like RC planes, and ask them what electronics you'd need. But as for the rest, you need to think about how to get the rest of it to work together. The enclosure shouldn't be too thick, so you can actually transmit video back to your laptop.

Where buy low cost rc helicopter?

small rc helicopter ebay image

Mike Tyler

I want to buy rc helicopter. Where good place buy low cost rc helicopter?

I usually buy rc helicopter from http://www.xhobbystore.com/. Is there anywhere else cheaper?

Answer
This is actually an infinity question.
You probably should ask what kind of RC Helicopter do you want first. Big, Small, Indoor or outdoors?
If you are a beginner you probably looking something that's hard to break.
The good news is that Radio Control Helicopters are available everywhere from Amazon to eBay and cost goes to every budget, from $12 to $100s.
That just makes a question of what do you want to buy.?

How can I hook an electric ac adapter to the charger instead of using batteries?

perryinjax

Hello,
I need an electrical engineer here possibly to help with this. I have a small rc helicopter you can view it at:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160299062598
My question is this;
The remote also charges the little helo with a short wire that plugs into the underbelly of the machine. The remote requires SIX (6) AAA batteries and I am burning through them like crazy. I know I may would be able to buy six rechargeable AAA batteries and a charger, but I dont know if that would hurt the copter, also, those rechargeable batteries and the charger are more expensive than if I could rig an ac adapter up to the battery compartment, I already have plenty of misc voltage ac adapters from other toys etc... that I can use. I am thinking I could somehow strip the wires and hook one up to the battery comp. at the north pole connector and the other lead to the south pole springy connector in the remote's battery compartment. but i dont wanna hurt the copter or blow myself up etc.. Is there some way to do this? I am not an engineer or anything so layman's terms please. thanks
I do have a NINE VOLT ac adapter but what does "mains in" mean?
It is only 700 ma though instead of one amp
is that ok?
There is no place to plug an ac adapter into so I will have to solder the end to the wires that the batteries supply current through. Also, my 9V ac adapter says 300mA instead of 700mA sorry. IT is small writing it was mistake to say it said 700 earlier. thanks

Answer
6 AAA batteries will put out 6*1.5=9V. So you need an adaptor that has mains in and 9V out.
Based on your description, I would guess that you need no more than 1 Amp of current. Your AC adaptor should therefore have more than 1A capability. Adaptors are often rated in milliamps or mA. 1000mA = 1A.

OK, I'm assuming that there is no dc-in socket on your remote control into which you can simply plug your adaptor. If there is - job done. If not, read on:

Open the battery compartment. You should see that the batteries are connected in series, with the negative (-ve) end of one battery connected to the positive (+ve) end of the next.
The wires connecting the batteries are usually visible in the battery compartment.
Locate the two extreme ends of the series string, note which one is +ve and which is negative.

Next take your ac adaptor. You need to determine which wire is positive, and which is negative. This is usually marked on the adaptor, or on the dc plug. The +ve terminal will be marked with a + and the -ve with a -. You may find that only one terminal is marked. Often a picture of the dc connector is shown.

Open the connector, if moulded with a sharp knife (ask an adult if you are not an adult). Now determine which wire is +ve and which is -ve.

Finally cut the conector off , bare the wires about 1/2" and attach the wires inside the battery compartment. +ve wire to the +ve end of the battery string and -ve to the -ve.

Job done.

If you want to be tidier, open the remote and solder the wires into the PCB where the battery attaches. Pass the wires through a small hole in the case (drill one), and add an in line connector (like one off a 9V battery, you can buy them on line). These things require a much higher level of skill though.

I live in san marcos CA so remember that what you say is available in my city or not.

Answer
You could get a 2.4 Ghz Pinhole Wireless Color Camera with audio for about $300. But at that, it is no guarantee your helicopter will fly with it. That seems like a small helicopter and the flight weight seems like it could barely fly with 7 ounces. I would suggest getting a slightly bigger helicopter first.

Where to get a live streaming camera for RC helicopter?

rc helicopters image

Amy

Where can I get a camera that can live stream to an android phone for an RC helicopter or quadcopter? I'm not even sure what to search on google. I have tried a few things but really no results.
I haven't bought the helicopter or quadcopter yet. I am looking for the camera first, then get something that can support it. GoPro are out of my price range.

Answer
Go to a computer store or the place you got the RC helicopter and ask for help there

What kind of rc helicopter should I be getting?

Chance

My dad is going to be getting me something for Christmas, $85 limit. I want a rc helicopter. Ive only had cheap walmart ones before, so i need some expertise. Im wanting a namebrand fairly decent sized helicopter that will be able take some minor crashes. I did a little research and it seems that the Align T-Rex 250 is decent. Any ideas? Remember I have $85 to spend, including taxes and shipping.

Answer
I wouldn't recommend the Align T-Rex 250, and it's over the budget anyways? The smaller the helicopter, the more crashes it can resist, and the cheaper the replacement parts are. Just the battery looks like it's 3 times more expensive than a mini helicopter, and you will need extra batteries if you would like to fly for more than 10 minutes.

Do you have a radio/controller already? If you do, you could buy the BNF version of the helicopter and it will be cheaper. If you don't, then look for the RTF version that comes with a radio/controller.

The Blade MCX RTF is $80 at Horizon Hobby
http://www.horizonhobby.com/products/blade-mcx-rtf-EFLH2200
It's a coaxil heli, so you will have to fly it indoors and outdoors only when it's not too windy. It can take a good beating, better than the t-rex, and the parts are pretty cheap.

These 3 are some I have looked at while I was doing research about rc helicopters when I wanted to purchase one. These are fun, you won't be able to do 3D tricks with them though. It depends how many channels was the one you had, these are 3 channels and good practice.

The Syma S107 is $27 at amazon. It's a beginner helicopter, but it's small and reviews say it does good in taking crashes (4 out of 5 stars).

The Helizone Combat fighter 3.5 Channels looks fun. It's $36.99 on amazon, and you can look up videos on youtube.

The Syma S107C has a built in camera, and it's $39 on amazon.


I purchased the Nano CP X BNF, and a DX6i receiver, and depending your age and experience, this is not a beginner one. But it's just something to look for in the future if you want to get into the hobby. The heli cost me $160 online, and the reciever/controller (DX6i) cost me $70 USED.


You could also suggest to him to look on craigslist for used ones, don't be uptight about it and demand a new one if your father can't afford ones over $85. I bought the DX6i for my boyfriend from craigslist, and it came in original box and everything, for less than half the price, and he loves it anyways. You could find a used Blade MCX or MCX2 for a really good price, and if it's from a person that looks like it's their hobby, it will probably be very well taken care of.


you or your father should check out this forum's for sale threads:
http://www.helifreak.com/forumdisplay.php?f=6

you can also feel free to ask questions on there, or check out the "newbie" section for advice, there has been many people also asking for a beginner heli, so you can read the responses.

Don't try to get a "professional" type helicopter because for those you need to make a bigger investment than just the helicopter. For an advanced heli you need an advanced radio, not the ones it comes with, and you will need to purchase a simulator to practice on because crashing the helicopter will cost you a lot of money!

Goodluck and have fun :)

What model is the best mini RC helicopter? For indoor use...?

linzter

What model is the best mini RC helicopter? I want it for indoor use, and would like it to be able to hover. Of course battery life and operating time are also factors.

Answer
I bought the Air Hogs Apache Havoc Heli for my fiance, it was $25 on sale at Toys R Us, it comes with a little target that you can shoot with a laser. The target is shaped like a satellite, it blinks and make noise etc. It is a pretty cool toy, the charge runs down after a while but he has never been very bothered by it. The only thing I hate is that hair will get tangled in the tail rotor and it will break, but you can get replacements by calling their company that are cheap. It hovers well, the turning is a little hard but you get the hang of it. I also bought him the UFO one, but it is not as fun even though it has cool light up action. So, that is my review of that although I haven't played with any others.
