Toys for BIG boys

[HoneySuckle]

Okay guys, help me out here.  My husband suddenly asked for a remote control helicopter.  I get the feeling one of his friends bought one and now he wants to have a toy too!lol

Anyway, been looking at the KBtoys and Toys R US sites to get some ideas.

Want something that could work indoors and outdoors.  Saw some frail looking remote helis at Radio Shack (mosquito?) which fell apart on its first flight[]   That one is a definite no-no.

One of my co-workers has an indoor helicopter.  All I can recall is that he strongly advised buying a replacement parts kit along with the toy.  Apparently, they offer a kit with all the commonly breakable parts.

I'll ask him about it tomorrow - if my notoriously fallible memory allows.

For indoor helicopters, make sure you specify one that is radio controlled (not infrared) and counter-rotating propellors (for stability). You can find some really nice ones in the 60-80 range at hobbytown usa, et al.
