  I bought an RC Helicopter after wanting to play with one for years. Seeing them for sale all over last year got me thinking about this years Christmas so I did some research and found a remarkable little (7 inch!) chopper. It's a Syma S107 and it will really fly and hover much like the real thing. After smacking into ceilings, walls and furniture while learning it still runs perfectly. After testing some last year in stores and finding crappy handling, cheap construction and 50-75.00 pricing I'm glad I waited. This little guy is cool looking with it's aluminum frame and blinking LED in the swooping canopy. My son and I have both learned to master flying in a fairly short time in the confines of my mobile home. (Like no more than 12' by 12' area) I tried it outside the last few nights and it was really a hoot! (It's IR not radio control so no direct sunlight)
  For the best and fastest pricing/shipping I found it off eBay from "Electrifiedhobbys" for about 34.00 including shipping. I ordered it on a Wed. and it was sitting on my doorstep Fri., why can't parts suppliers do that! I would not post this if it was not such a remarkable little toy for the money.  :2thumbs:
