I am new to helicopters and was wonder what I should start off with for a electric helicopter. It need to be not much more money then 200$ Canadian. It also needs to be easy to learn to fly.

Thank you :D

http://towerhobbies.com/products/heli-max/hmxe05.html that helicopter is very easy to fly. it has 2 rotors that spin in opposite directions so to hover, all you need to do is hit the throttle. helis with 1 rotor is much more difficult but once you learn you have more maneuvers you can do.

hope this helps

I would reccomend a Blade CX2

It comes with EVERYTHING you need to get started
and it is really easy to get flying with this cute little bird

Check with your local hobby shop (LHS) and see if they
have one. Cheap to fix after a crash, too.

The CX is a good starter, but for aerobatics you will want more. Start with the Electric Helicopter Beginner's Guide (http://www.swashplate.co.uk/html/ehbg.html).

I think the CX2 is a great starter. Once you are ready for aerobatics, try a simulator out first. Spend a little to save a lot.
