What is a good kind of toy helicopter?

I want to get a toy helicopter for my husband and want to know if anyone has any experience with some that aren’t those cheapy mini ones or ones that fall apart. I am willing to invest a little bit of money for quality… any advice?

Hi meagan,
Good for you for wanting to get something that cool for your hubby.
I have several RC helis, and the first question that gets sent back to new people asking questions is what is your budget.
Next would be where are you going to fly it?
There is such a huge range, from $100-almost flyable models to $3000 killer stunt monsters.
Small electrics you can fly in your living room to nitro powered smoke spewing helis that are only usable at a dedicated flying field.
There are co-axial models (two rotors) that look a bit less like a typical helicopter, but are amazingly steady and easy to fly.
There are single rotor helis that are much more capable, but much harder to fly.
I have linked some good forums where you can read a lot more about which models work well for people. Read a lot. Ask a lot of questions. Feel free to email me if you have more questions.
Good luck!
