First RC Helicopter Advice needed

I am looking to buy an RC Helicopter. Some of the features I want is a ready to fly unit. 11.1V lipo battery. Tail rotor with belt drive system. Which Make and Models can you recommend to me.

So far I am looking at the Esky Honey Bee King and the Walkera Dragonfly 36. Any other I should look at? I want to spend less than $200 total. So far only these models are in this price range.

Thanks for the advice.

Cool Re: First RC Helicopter Advice needed

There's not a lot to choose from with those features ready to fly.A high capacity lipo[at least 1800mah 10C] will give you more flight time but the stock motor will get hot.You could get one of those helis and do short flights until you can upgrade to brushless motor and ESC.
