RE: I'm looking for a mini...
you may want to look into the blade cp by e-flite it is very popular and has good parts availability. a new one ready to fly is 219.00. it is a colictive pitch so inverted flight is possible with an upgrade fit available for about 20.00 i have one coming in about a week and can tell you more then.

With an upgrade kit it is possible. This heli comes ready to go, and it's ccpm so you will get your feet wet with that also. Use training gear and don't try to progress too fast. It will take a long time to accumulate the skills for inverted, but this heli can do it as well as basic to mild 3d.

It is probably a good indoor heli, because it is small.....but that translates to less stability. I would not expect to see one of these hovering on it's back without a good brushless motor and speed controller as well as Lipos. That is down the road, just get what you need to get you going.

What does 3d mean?
Is this a good one for the price?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll..._BIN_Stores_IT
is that fixed or collective?

RE: I'm looking for a mini...
That's a collective heli, but I don't know how the good the Dragonfly is. It might be great. Don't get confused - the dragonfly and blade are collective pitch, the two you posted in the beginning of this thread are fixed pitch and will never go inverted.
