Phil is right Troy the Blade heli do rate well, I started with a Blade 400 and the other one he has listed is also a good option if you think he would like something that more resembles a real helicopter than the quad does.
Whatever you wind up with he'll have a lot of fun with it.
Good luck in choosing.
By the way ZEEJAYS will let you pickup from their place I think even though they are really an online shop, ask them if you can do that, if they are close enough to you it'd be worth a look.
Would give you a chance to have a look at what they have as well before you made a choice.
I used to get all my spare parts from them as they had the best range and stock.
