Looking for Micro... which would YOU get?

[Jennifer Smith]

Presuming you'd want a small heli to fly indoors during these sucky winter
days, which one would you get?

- Walkera/GWS Dragonfly
- eSky Honeybee/Humble Bee etc.
- Century Hummingbird
- Anything else?

Keep in mind, must be electric (glow indoors is no fun) and reasonably
small :) Stable hover would be good I guess, to avoid hitting walls all too
often.

Thanks

depends how well you can fly ? I have a Esky honey bee 2 CCPM 3d and its a
handful for me and I am quite a newbie I can hover in the kitchen in about
9ft by 12 ft
and its quite good in a breeze but not gusty

I can fly (hover, FF, circuit) my neighbors big .90 glow heli fine, and I do
have an old Dragonfly (without gyro... ugh) which I can fly, but not hover
all that stable in a tight space. I'd crash into walls all the time.

The tiny ones are more twitchy, no doubt about that :)

Have you seen the Trex? Very much like a 30 size nitro ship at the sticks.
I have one and I like it a lot. I also have a Protech Zoom which is also
very good but is actually a bit TOO stable for me as the cyclics are very
slow (though they can be quickened up). I have tried the Esky and quite
frankly, it's crap. I would steer clear of ANY heli that has a tail rotor
consisting of a motor with a bloody propellor stuck to it. Go for a model
with a conventional variable pitch T/R such as the two I suggested.
