Electric RC Helicopter

Hi all,
i want a small electric helicopter to muck around with, as i already have a nitro car, and saw this on ebuyer [www.ebuyer.com]

Does anyone have one or know someone with one? What do you think about it for the price (i think its quite cheap!!)

Cheers,
Mika19b

I saw similar demo'd at an airshow a while back, half the price too. They were probably more for indoor use. I'd like one with a ccd rf camera that can transmit the image back to a monitor, would be handy for checking out the talent in the neighbours pool lol

What you've linked to is basically a toy for mucking about with in your house. Okay for a bit of a laugh, if that's all your after. Someone at my local R/C club has one and we had to modify it a little to make it fly forwards.

If you want something that can fly higher than yourself then I can imagine it's going to cost a lot more than £30, maybe around the £150 mark but I don't know much about the flying side of R/C.

Although I do know you should have insurance if you plan to run it in a public area, same with a R/C car.

wow that looks good fun! and it says "for outdoor use only" Keiran.

i saw them messing with RC copters on Mythbusters, trying to (dis)prove the myth that a postage stamp on one of the blades could unsettle it enough to make it crash, and they had fun playing with the small ones.

Well my advice would be not to use it if there is any wind at all As I said we had to modify one to make it fly forwards (attached a weight on the front), otherwise all it did was go up.
