Thanks for that Jon, I've been looking around the net, and have found a few places to source one. Looks like around the £300 mark for what I would need.
I think I'll stick with my original thought of a new toolbox off Santa, then wait till my birthday in February and get a better model / transmitter for around £500.
In the mean time I'll do some research and learn the basics of how the things work / stay in the air. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush2.gif

See what I mean ???????????? Total newbie here when it comes to flying machines.
Fancy posting some links up of where I can start with the research.
Had a couple of Rc cars in the past, preferred the nitro ones though. You cant beat the sound of those little high revving buggers. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Know what you mean about being addictive though, I know I'd want a better model after a few months and end up shelling out again, so I might as well wait a few months, learn a little and save the pennies then get the best I can afford at the time.
Thanks for the info though, totallly appreciate it, definately going to get one. Its one of those boys toys youve just got to have at some point in your life.
