A lot of bang for the buck! I have 2 of the E-Sky Lama V4 helis, besides several other popular makes of coaxial type helis, ranging in price to over $300. The E-Sky V4 is among my favorites and I probably fly them more than the others. Mine doesn't have the 2.4 ghz radio, but I believe its standard the newer models. Quality and duribility is is right up there with some of the more expensive brands, good fit and finish. Body decals are very well applied, allthough I would rather have a choice of schemes. Its very easy to fly (for a helicopter) and most anyone can learn to control it in a short time. Hands-off flight of about 10 seconds can be obtained when properly trimmed. Flight time is 10 to 15 minutes, which is good for a coaxial. I fly mine outdoors when winds are (VERY) calm. This is the least expensive coaxial heli I have and it performs as well as the more expensive ones. Parts and up-grades are readily available and inexpensive, although my local hobby shop doesn't carry E-Sky products.
Pros: Very stable, Easy to fly; Quality; Price, cheap, you can afford more than one!
Cons: Can't think of any.

The Lama V4 must be the best offer for radio controlled INDOOR helicopters there is! For less than 100 dollars you get a fully functioning helicopter, small enough to fit in the tightest living room. I even fly it through door frames into surrounding rooms. At first it is a little hard as a beginner to get used to the controls, but once you're through the first 5 or 6 rotor blade sets (like 3 bucks per set), you'll have great fun! I fly little races against the clock and compete against my dad, which is pretty cool. Anyway, nothing for impatient or too young kids; you need hand eye coordination and some fine motor skills.

P.S. Take loose paper off the helipad (coffee table).

This is a great beginner rc heli, I wouldn't consider it a toy as some say, its more entry level into the rc heli hobby. I have a collective pitch mini heli that i have crashed a few times so i decided to take a step back and use the Lama v4 to develop my basic flying skills and it was the perfect decision. Although its a beginner heli I think there is still an assumption you know what you're getting into (i.e. the broken english manual barely helps). Easy to fly indoors, upgrade and repair parts are relatively cheap and easy to find on the net, and there are plenty of message boards available to help. The heli itself is very basic so you will want to make some upgrades - must haves: xtreme blades (the stock blades lasted me about 2 weeks-flimsy), upgrade the landing skids - ultra flex skids and an extra battery to keep the fun going. Order the parts before you need them to shorten repair time. For apperance and stability i took off the cheap plastic tail and put on a more realistic looking tail boom. Remember this isn't one of those micro helis you see on tv for $49 that can bounce off of things, although simple in design this has true heli principles at work. So if you move it in one direction you have to counter that move to stop it, etc. Do a little research before your first flight so you can truly enjoy it.
