Beginers RC Helicopter?
I'm looking into buying my first Heli, I have been advised to start with atleast 4 channels.
I was looking at the Esky Honey Bee CP3
What do you guys reccomend I start out with, Nitro or Electric.
I have a budget of around £100
I would definitely stay away from Nitro as a beginner. It adds a whole level of complexity to the hobby. There are so many great starter Mini Heli kits out there to get your feet wet. Get a small one so when you crash it (and you will), it will be cheap to fix and not a huge financial loss. Check out these kits:

you should get the blade mcx s300, i have one and it is very easy to fly around the house, and it sells for about 100 dollars or more online. but my first RC heli was one of those air hogs helicopters, there junk, don't buy them. good luck!!

Nitro would be a big mistake for a beginner as you would have to spend more than 100. Electric is good and 3ch or 4ch are appropriate for beginners how ever there are other factors that you might want to learn about before you just by any heli. As some times people buy a helicopter they can't fly because they don't understand and end up crashing and not using them again.
