Please suggest a RC Helicopter

[enewmen]

Hi all.

I wanted to get into RC helicopters, so I went to Toys-R-Us.
Well, they had toys. They all have counter rotating rotor blades, a gyroscope, and no tail-rotor - so they fly nothing like a real helicopter.

Please suggest a low-end electric "real" RC copter that flies and controls a little more like a real copter. This should at least give me another perspective on how the real copters fly.
(I'm also into hard-core flight/helicopter simulators to help prepare me for real flying lessons - not directly on topic).

After I crash the RC helicopter a few times and stop crashing, then I'll consider getting a really good one with a mini-turbine engine, etc).

Any ideas to point me in the right direction?
thanks!

hey there,go for co-axial heli for a start as they are easy to control and not so twitchy. chances of crashes are lower and they are more fun.
check this out:
HK189 - 2.4G Scale Hughes 500 Police Coax Helicopter - M1

hope it helps

Thanks for the post!
The HK189 looks too easy because I'm looking for something to help me train to fly a real helicopter one day.
But since I have no experience at all, maybe the HK189 is a good place to start.
I'll also check other RC aviation at hubbyking.
