I purchased a syma s107 last month, and im having tons of fun with the little thing indoors. Now i feel i'm ready to move onto a larger, outdoor rc helicopter( to be flown in slight wind ). For the money, what helicopter is best for a beginner? I've been looking on my own and theres just too many for me to make a decision.. I want to try and get the best heli i can for the money (<$150).
Answer
I have heaps of mini helicopters especially the Syma S107- I also have the Syma S032 which is the bigger brother and is not infra red remote so flies out side on a calm day.
It really gets down to how much you might want to spend- If you start going into the hundred dollar mark plus you can not beat Nine eagles helis and of course models from Walkera. First consider cost if you are going to single coaxial blade helicopters they are considerable harder to fly and getting a simulator from Say Ebay for $20 is well worth it as you can practice on your computer. You see one is going from a 3 channel helicopter (syma107) to 4 and 6-7 channel helicopters which have lot more movement hence control gets harder.
I got a Walkera Dragonfly 4G6S 6CH Metal RC Helicopter with a brushless motor for $300 now I know that is more than you want to spend,however my advice is I know once you fly a 4 channel helicopter you will wish you had spent a bit more money to go the full hog as you will be totally hooked, The difference of spending $300 to $150 for a rc helicopter is enormous-built really well many spares available and easy to repair and made of high quality materials,also the remotes can be $200 on their own which are supplied with say the Dragon fly and can be binded with other helicopters.
In your price you can not beat the Skyartec NINJA 400 CCPM 6CH RC Helicopter for around $170- I have put some links to where I buy my helis below-hope that helps.

Beginner RC Helicopter?
NONAME
I am looking for an electronic RC helicopter... I am a beginner, and want to start a new hobby. I have looked at the GYRO mini helicopters, and I have found that they are VERY stable. I have actually tried one out and liked it very much, but the problem is, I live in a small apartment. I don't ave muck space to fly this thing and my ceilings are not high. The good thing is, I live very close to a park with a big open space with no trees. My problem is, I want a helicopter that is very stable and I can learn on, but I can't do that at my apartment with a small one. I can get a bigger outdoor one, which I have seen are very stable, but then again, if I lose control of it, the heli could easily break. Anybody have this problem or any solutions?
Thanks!
Answer
well big helicopters are usually more expensive and they are not as easy to stabilize unless they are coaxial because coaxials have 2 sets of rotor blades and they are amazing helis to start with, but they are not good with outdoors and winds. if you wanna fly outside the bigger is better because the wind cant throw it around. coaxials dont get really big but you can get "big lama" that is a beginner heli and it can stay up in some wind but not a lot. i dont recommend you starting with a 3d heli because they are hard to stabilize and if then one that you saw was stable then the pilot was pretty good! there is also fixed pitch but those are a bit harder to fly than coaxials but they are easier than 3ds. you can also get micro coaxials that are REALLY small but stable!
