I am a newbie to R/C Heli's, and an looking on advise on buying another one (that's right, I HAD a Blade CP but flew it into a pole and screwed it up :mad: , So I stopped a while on helis). I can't get a simulator unless it's free, for I'm on a $225 budget :( . I'm thinking about getting a new Helimax Rotofly EX with replacement Tail Rod, Main Rotor Blade, and skids along with a spare battery. The Helimax is $169.99, $210 w/ replacement parts. Haven't ordered it so If anyone has any advise I could really use it. I need one that is a single set of blades(forgot the term for it), Electric, fly indoors, and can take a lick'in and keep on tick'in(haven't used that in a while... :D ).

you will have better luck inside with a counter rotator helicopter like the blade CX. the rotofly is a nice little machine, but it is much more challanging to fly than the inherently stable counter rotators. If you decide to go for the rotofly, you should start in a larger room like a two car garage. Either machine is going to be limited outside in any wind, but the rotorfly will do a little better in the wind
