I was always fascinated by these guys but the idea of running nitro fueled toys was a put off. With the modernization of battery powered copters tho I've been slowly taking steps into this hobby.
Last year my nephews got me an Air Hog which I quickly beat up but replaced with a Syma which ROCKED indoors for under $20:

I've been thinking about getting something a bit more complex. I'm not quite ready to buy a 450/700/700 sized craft but man am I fascinated by the intricate 3d work that guys like Alan Szabo are able to do:
So in the meantime I've jumped up to a Blade MCPx:

This is an RTF, a "Ready to Fly" kit that comes bundled with a moderate quality radio transmitter that can be bound to other RC devices.

And am also trying a V911 clone:

Which comes bundled with a cheesy looking radio transmitter. Will see how that pans out, but I wanted a cheap one for the office for breaks.
I really want a 450, but that will have to wait a bit I think.
