I plan on eventually buying a full 1/4 scale 8 channel chopper eventually so this one was referred to me by a buddy who owns a kick ass helicopter.

Basically he said I should get the hang of not crashing with something like this first. Then move up to a slightly better one (but still under $100) and then go for something with all of the bells and whistles after that.

He went straight for the bells and whistles and spent an initial $1200 and then another $400, TWICE after that do to crashing it in a big way. He felt that one of the crashes would never have happened if he played with a toy to get hovering down first and the first crash would have been minor had he had some skills landing.
