    Ben must have never flown a Heli, real or a toy. Without this nobody but a heli pilot (or RC heli pilot) could fly this thing for more then 5 seconds. No idea on quality of tis one, but a pretty good mini called a CR is around $140 ready to fly with everything (radio, charger, battery) that is a good starter one.

    I believe that's also a shitty one.

    this is a crap shoot.. BTW shipping says starts at $8.28 for me... this might be a decent heli but it's more than likely not going to be one... just not sure... if you want a good easy mico heli to fly pick up a new or used eflight blade mcx.. super easy to fly indoors, very durable, and parts are easy to come by.. the heli isn't cheap, but if you can find a good used one for like $50 get it.. parts are cheap on ebay.

    Fun for a day or two...then re-discover it a few weeks later, fly it again for a while, repeat.
