What's a good CHEAP outdoor RC Helicopter?

The cheaper the better... I'd say $30-40 is my max though. Under $20 would be awesome :D

(I know anybody serious about RC flying will probably scoff at my budget - but that's why I took care to say "the best" as opposed to "good" heh)

I got my Knight Flight Batman a few weeks ago and decided to bust 'em out a few days ago - then that got me itching to play with my cheap RC. And the disease has continued to progress from there..

It's funNY seeing how those little IR choppers act outside - just not fun.

@airsoftrc: Yeah, "Cheap [$20-30] helicopter" naturally makes me think "$150 - FOUR FOOT NOVELTY HELICOPTER." Totally.

Now, was that REALLY an attempt at being helpful...or a stab at pushing your crap? Be honest.

But If you did just really (REALLY) misread the title, description and comments...than I am genuinely sorry - and I appreciate the attempt.

Dr: As I said in another discussion: Syma S032 is a good (not great) outdoor copter in your price range. If you have an extremely still day, it will do outdoor flight pretty well. If possible, I'd suggest you go for the Syma S023G instead, though it's a little over your range (about $50).

One other thought: DO NOT go for the Syma S022 (the twin rotor): The only Syma product that's ever disappointed me. It has the size and heft to go outdoors, but is near impossible to trim and has a nasty tendency to rotate left/right as well as go full throttle randomly... Has resulted in some funNY moments, I must admit... But not fun.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
