Hey friends,

I am looking to buy a rtf rc heli with complete setup under USD200. Size around 200 or 300 and with 3D capabilities. Can anyone suggest me which bird should I go in for?

Have you had any experience with flying an RC heli or plane? If you haven't then this heli may not be what you would want to start with.

Dumb Thumbs is sure right about the brand though. You can't beat E-Flite helicopters. Only down side is the tail motor. I'm new at the RC helicopter world and I've got 4 helicopters. The Blade E-Flite CP Pro 2 is my last one. It's really a sweet helicopter. It's still new so the tail motor has not had time to fail so I'm still real happy with it.

I also have an Esky big Lama that's great for a first timer but you'll tire of it soon has it has limited abilities. Slow and very dossal. But an easy flier.

I think E-Flite makes the best helicopters for the money, (me thinks). I like them all. Lots of fun.

Just me, but I wouldn't give a tail motored heli hanger space. Belt, shaft or nothing. If we stop buying them they'll stop making them.
