It might be ok. Is it 4 channel? I wouldn't recommend anything less.

I think the Blade CX is a great starter heli.
Here's some info on it.

If you don't have a local hobby shop, here's one outlet for it.

This heli is a bit under $200. There certainly are some cheaper ones. Sometimes, when you add foreign shipping, it's not as cheap as it seems. Getting parts is a thing to consider. Some of these things aren't even worth the shipping. It would be nice if your first heli experience was a good one. If you get one of these things, get the training gear also. I think the new ones come with a simulator. Save money by working out on the simulator before messing with the heli.

I just ordered one off Ebay for $100 (with shipping) 4channel. I will give you a review when I get it and play with it. It will be my first RC chopper, so we'll see if it can take my newbie abuse.
