I bought one of those $30 micro choppers a while ago. Had a lot of fun with it and crashed it 100 times before I finally broke it. I was hankering for a bigger and more challenging chopper before very long though. After flying some of the realistic sims I feel like the gyro-stabilised choppers are pretty tame and not fulfilling in flight.
WATCH THIS ONE!!!! (Turn your volume all the way up)
