mini rc helicopter?

[jimmy]

What's a good small rc helicopter? Someone at work got some toysRus thing for 20 quid and it's quite fun - tho doesn't have the full controls (whatever the technical term is) but only power and left/right.

I know nowt about these things but I fancy some sort of lil helicopter as it's quite a laugh bashing this thing off stuff.

Any ideas? what have people got?
I don't wanna get all crazy and start buying micro servos and all that madness. Just somet cheap and RTR

I have a Blade CX2

It comes with lipo and spektrum and chargers obviously, ready to fly for about £120 i think.

It is ace. Blades and stuff are easy and cheap to get hold of, i would highly recommend it

how big is it? I wan't somet to fly indoors when I'm sick of reviewing or doing reports - somet I can try land on vickys head without chopping it off would be a bonus.

I reckon the Blade CX2 is the one to have, but have a look here:

There's a load to choose from, and the staff have plenty of experience with them......

the picco Z is the most common micro heli, probably what your mate has - they are around £20

If you want "full controls" when the e-flite blade CX2 is one of the most common. Full 4 ch control, 2.4ghz control, lipo etc. ready to fly at about £110 (maybe cheaper on ebay second hand)

not sure whats available in between prices though.

its no more than a foot long, i fly it in the living room occasionally, the kids are scared of it, its well worth the money

[jim76]

it's about 12 inches long, rota diameter about 12-14 inch?
