I have just brought a small cheap ir rc helicopter and I am loving it, because it was mega cheap 15 quid from clas ohlson it only lasts for about 5ish minutes, but I'm now ready for a bigger one, any advice sub 50 quid, I was looking at the t34 for 49.99 from amazon, thanks again I've been bitten Smile

Glad you're enjoying it Bazz and good to have you aboard. Not many people realise that these cheap helis are not made to last. You have started well.

Welcome Bazz.

What ever you decide to buy be sure you can get parts for it. If no parts are available then it's a waste of quid's (money).

I have Blade (E-Flite) rc helicopters and think they are great. They may cost a few more dollers but they are tough and parts are available anywere.

My 2 cents.

Thanks guys went for the t34 in the end, it was only 39 pound, cheap enough for the next stage of learning, all I need now is a dry day and no wind, soon be on that petrol one lol
