Whats the best indoor RC helicopter for a 6 years kid?

[dealrocker]

One of today's most exhilarating and rapidly growing hobbies are RC helicopter toys. Variety and choices for RC toys are increasing day by day. There are many types of electric RC helicopters we can choose from. But, choosing a safe RC helicopter for kids can be a challenging task. Well, I found a Air Hogs Indoor R/C Havoc Heli at Toys R Us.
Thanks in advance for your help..

There is a guy on this forum that is big into helicopters. His name on the forum is "Stratcat". Real name is John. He probably can help. Send him a private message.

If he doesn't help or reply back, try another website I frequent. It is called "RcGroups.com". They cater to all things that fly and will definitely be able to help you out with answers.

The Air Hogs will be a good choice if you can get him to focus on how it works, which isn't real well. You constantly have to keep pgiving it input. Until you get used to that, it's a frustrating little bugger. The good thing is that it's $25 and if he loses interest you haven't wasted a ton of cash.

If money is no object, there are some very nice copters in the $100-129 range that are Real RC, not Air Hogs style toys. So if you plan to use it too, you might look into those.

Avoid the Night Ranger style copters. Very difficult to fly and almost useless indoors unless you have a very large space.

Have you flown an RC heli before?

The easiest heli I've ever flown is the Blade mcx. Super smooth and I think that I would have been a lot less frustrated with flying when I just started out if I would have started with that.

But honestly, I think flying ANYTHING for a 6 year old is asking too much (airplanes included). It takes constant, tiny, "do-it-so-often-it-becomes-automatic" adjustments to fly a heli. Getting a 6 year old to control a regular RC truck is hard enough.

Now that he is 9, get him anything!

The Scout is a better heli for the same price.
I just bought a Lady Bird and for a $50.00 heli it's for the experienced flyer, better and faster than the cheap price tag would lead you to believe.
