Default Looking to buy a indoor rc helicopter

I am looking to buy a cheap helicopter to fly in doors. I have had a few before and broken them. I just have got the urge to try again

Can someone recommend me one to buy for less than £30 that is quite strong and good to fly.

I had a go on one at a show last week which was indestructible the bloke was smashing it against a table to prove it.

Thanks for the help.

Syma S107, and that's it really....

Check the reviews on Amazon:

I've got one, really easy to fly, good fun, pretty tough and mine hasn't broke after been crashed a few times. My mum bought one for my 7 year old cousin and even he hasn't broken his yet!

Hmmmm.....I thought I'd got this one myself, except the controller looks different

My controller flexes in the middle and is far from "proportional" drive, in fact it's a bloody nightmare.

The copter itself is fine.



Tried friends copter with much stubbier under carriage ( which I would recommend..) , and what looks like that controller. - I was a dab hand in no time

4 Channel is the way to really learn RC for Heli's.

But 3 channel indoors is good simple fun ..... it just won't do what a 4 channel can.

I have a Blade.

But this one seems decent, and very cheap.

I have the S107 and can recommend it as a good piece of kit for the money, i also got the little spares kit which i think was a fiver, only needed to use one small part from it in 2 years. As others have said, after a few weeks the novelty wears off, but the kids still love being chased around the living room with it
