trust me . Cheap things no good, good things not cheap.
Maybe I should be more specific:
I bought a total cost $800 with remote heli 7 years ago, fly less
than an hour and repair cost is $400 because the controller
limitation. A normal controller for heli and plan should cost at
least $250++
Bought a $100 heli with simple controller 2 years ago for my
nephew. can even take off 
Now I am starting with plane, and intented to get a normal standard
heli at $1200 w/o controller when I am ready. I am very sure that
will fly I had group of friend done that.
