What rc helicopter is good but not too expensive?

mini rc helicopter s107 image

I am a beginner and want to find a good remote control helicopter.

1. I want it to be able to get of the ground,
2. have a reasonable flight time in between charges
3. be reasonably easy to learn how to fly it doesn't have to be too simple I have a brain :)
4. flies straight when you want it too and not just in circles
5. This is not as important but it would be really nice if it had full range of motion (forward, back, right, left, up, down and possibly hover)
6. If it does crash preferably it won't shatter into a jazillion pieces maybe a gyro would keep it from crashing I don't know enough about them to know

I don't want one too big. Indoor is preferred to outdoor, but if it does both that's obviously fine too :). I've read that a "hobby" standard coaxial mini helicopters are better than "toy" helicopters because if something does break you can replace parts. On the other hand I'm NOT made of money so a $80 helicopter for fun is far out of my budget.

If nothing like this exists sorry to waste your time, but I'm hoping some rc helicopter junkie can read this and have a solution. I tried googling it, but I don't know enough of the terminology to find what I want. I found something called a "E-flite Blade mCX" off of a blog and it sounds awesome but the cheapest I can find it is $60 which is still far out of my budget :\. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your in luck, there is a mini RC helicopter does fit your criteria pretty well.

Its the Syma S107 mini electric RC helicopter.

I've had mine for some time and I love it, its great fun and easy to fly. Its a good beginners helicopter.
If it does crash its got a metal frame and is pretty durable. Mine hit the ceiling, the desk, and the dog, and it just keeps right on going.

If you get it online you should be able to grab one for around $30 bucks. Thats it.

You can read a full review and see a video of it flying right here:

I hope you try the s107 you wont regret it!


Happy Holidays--

FAKE Syma S107G RC Helicopter!?

Robert

I bought the Syma S107G RC helicopter from Amazon.com and I'm still waiting for it in the mail, but I went to Syma's website: http://syma107.com/ and I read the review and saw that the writer posted that you can buy a legit, real S107G from Amazon from this link: http://www.amazon.com/Syma-S107-S107G-Helicopter-Colors/dp/8499000606/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1324244891&sr=8-1

But, I bought the one from this link: http://www.amazon.com/Syma-S107-S107G-Helicopter-Yellow/dp/B004A8ZRB0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1324244891&sr=8-3

They're both from Amazon, but the first link says "Colors may vary" and the one I bought says "Yellow"

The writer from the website said the one with "Colors may vary" sells real S107G's.

I wanna find out if I am going to receive a fake or real helicopter.

Please help me out,

-Thanks :D

Answer
Your concern is real, but I wouldn't worry too much since Amazon does stand behind their merchants.

I have seen the comment your referring to before, but I have heard of nobody experiencing this problem that purchased through Amazon. I bought two from Amazon with no problems whatsoever.

Merchants selling through Amazon are reputable and will normally replace, exchange, or refund your helicopter if you are not completely satisfied.

Have fun with your Syma S107 its a great mini copter, very durable too.

Happy Holidays--
Cheers
