I really want to buy a electric heli and I only have $130. I have seen ones on Ebay that come with crash kits and simulators and the cables for the simulators. These typically run about $60 to $120 with out shipping.
I have seen the Dragonfly FP Heli ALOT for cheap and a few Humming birds.
What do you recommend for someone who has only flown a ROTOFLY a few times and was unsuccessful everytime?

The reason I am looking at the Dragonfly helis on ebay is because they come with the SIM and Cable for the PC.

Please let me know what I can get for $130 or if anyone is selling a quality heli for around that price.

Thanks

Take the $130.00 dollars and buy a Sim. It will save you a ton of money.

I got my Dragonfly #4 with all the extras for $120.00 including shipping on Ebay.If you can afford a little more,a Honeybee would be more stable with a better radio.Be aware that the fixed pitch helis are harder to fly and won't take flying in any wind. Also,if you buy on Ebay make sure the seller has at least 95% customer rating.As far as quality,the electronics are not the best but the helis will take a beating-get extra blades and training gear and be prepared to replace tail motor in the near future!

Really I'd skip the sim and just go to flying as long as you take it one step at a time (bouncing around on the ground) at first then move to flying. I'd suggest you wait and save up for a 36 though. it'll let you train in normal (fp (sort of)) then you can gradate you into 3D mode. trust me you'll be glad you did, just as long as you get a brushless system for it.
