can i get some advice on buying a good and preferably cheap 3 channel rc helicopter?
i am a beginner and am looking to get (to start) a cheap little off the shelf RC helicopter. 3 channel is preferred over 2 channel. what I'm looking for is one with decent stability, not to jerky, with fairly responsive controls. i am on a budget of about $35-40 right now so any customized builds are out. here are some links to what I am looking at right now.

The one that is worth your money would be the one in the first link. The "RC RADIO CONTROL REMOTE CONTROLLED 3 CHANNEL MINI AIRWOLF HELICOPTER"
I played with that for a while in the hobby shop, and it was amazing. The others… can't say the same.

Here's a suggestion for a not too bad rc electric helicopter in the 3-channel, $35-$40 bracket. The Winner RC Electric Helicopter was best seller in it's class this Christmas. http://www.review-a-gadget.com/Winner-Electric-RC-Helicopter-Review.php
Happy Flying!
