I use to fly some 6 channel RC helicopters, the proper model geek type things, but like a lot of newbie's I ended up either crashing mine on landing (it was the winds fault, honestly) or being unable to land because the cat wanted to eat my helicopter and would chase it all the way onto the roof if it could. Naturally this presented quite a few problems.

Repair costs and hassle being the biggest issues because, much like in real life, your helicopter would end up spending more time being repaired than actually flying. I actually think that they're designed as repair sims for engineering students :) .

Might try one of the little things though.
 
That thing is HUGE!! You can get much smaller RC whirlybirds than that.

Yep I've read it gets rather expensive, quickly, if you start crashing proper RC helis. Think a lot of people give up because of the costs; I'll just practice on my RC flight sim before thinking of anything more complicated.

I suppose it's always going to be a trade off between battery/flight time and size.
 
A while ago...I think...someone told me that there was gonna be some toy helicopter controlled by an iphone released which would be £50? (I think) Now isn't that excessive!?
