My new bird I picked up on ebay last week!

I agree Tony, that little bird I've flown straight into the wall and it keeps on going!
I have yet to break it, and I've tried

My indoor fleet : The "mouse" MSR, mCX S-300 , stock MSR

Learning helis involves lots of crashing. Durability and parts availability is the #1 consideration. In my opinion the Blade mCX2 RTF [$119] fits this perfectly. The included Spectrum DSM2 Tx has a 1/2 dual rate setting to make initial flights easier, and can be used for the next-step Blades like the MSR & SR120 which can be purchased minus the Tx [BNF]. If you can find a mCX S300 [same as the mCX2 except for canopy] they're sub $ 100.

LOL...before getting into RC Boating, I didn't realize, aside of my wife, I would need something during the winter to occupy my time!

And since I moved to the frozen tundra here in Edmonton, Canada from Vancouver (don't ask me why)...micro helis have been the ticket :) And on the days that its not -20C, my E-maxx's with paddle tires are fun as well

But for the newb heli pilots...a co-axial heli like the MCX/MCX2s from E-flite are your best bet. Your local hobby store should stock tonnes of parts when you crash...but when you get bored of the speed of the MCX/mCX2...move up to a Blade MSR or a walkera CB100

So what is a good all around heli for less than $100.00

My kid will be frying it, I mean flying it so I would like something that can be repaired...

Thanks

I can finally hover decently and have been practicing landing on a shoe box. Still trying to get accustomed to this thing.

I've heard the 120's do well outdoors

anyone with one of these bad boys?

I have two MSR's [ the baby brother to the 120] . The 120's too small to fly outdoors in any kind of wind [I live near the beach] and too big for my small living space-Otherwise I'd have one now. It's got a 45 degree flybar[self stabilizing to some extent] but a nice heli.

Okay so I got my Lama 2-1 today and lets just say the darn charger can't keep up with me. I think I finally got it trimmed decent but this is WAY harder than it seems. Too much for my little brain. fun as hell though. My determination will keep me up all night.

That is about how long it took me to do the same. I still can't chew gum and fly nose in I do think that it has helped my boat racing though.

Apparantly

NICE !! After seven months with heli's I can hover nose out and chew gum.

Helis are addictive. I've been flying for about 5 yrs now.
