RC Helicopter advice

[sulli]

I fancy getting an RC helicopter - looking to spend £100-£200, want something that has good range, decent battery, lots of tricks and possibly a camera (live footage would be cool).
Anyone recommend a site, give me some advice?

For that budget i would imagine the 'copter would be only suitable for internal use .

oh right, any pointers on where to start researching?
Cheers

Ive used these guys quite a lot...based locally to me, and always helpful, plus they make a lot of their own parts if you need spares

Are the Parrot ARDrone things any good? Quadricopter, so stable, yes? Has outdoor & indoor bodywork, and a video camera.

Seems to tick the boxes, but I know nothing

As a confirmed heli addict... I had a play with the Mk2 version of this at the weekend. Have to be honest, I was impressed. Operating from an iPad it was controllable
and pretty cool with the streaming video. Next door did get upset when I set it to hover outside the bedroom window though LOL
