Beginners helicopter

[Metalhead Matt]

The name says it all. I'm wanting a chopper to buzz around with. A buddy stopped by with one he picked up at a liquidation sale. 75 bucks. It was about a foot long or so. Brushed motor, lipo bat. A little 180mah 2s. It jammed! I want the simplest to operate, most popular beginner mini. I think. Any advice is much appreciated.

whoever it was, he needs to seal his engine...


Matt, the Blade mcx is a great little bird for indoor only flight. it dang near flies itself.

I'll second the E Flite Blade MCX. They're great beginner indoor birds, fairly tough, and parts are easy to come by. Once you get good with that, the MSR X or SR 120 would be next in line.

Those little guys are a blast to fly indoors. I got one online for $14 so watch where you buy.
Later you can step it up. Stay with axial rotors till you start feeling more confident.

A little big for indoors(at least at my house) but I'd sell you my CX-3 cheap. PM for details if you're interested.

The mCX is a great starter heli. I've run mine into almost everything imaginable and haven't broken anything, yet.
