What would the best RC helicopter be for my hubby who has never had one before and is under $50?

Question by Mystyk: What would the best RC helicopter be for my hubby who has never had one before and is under ?
I am looking to buy him one for Christmas but I want to start out with a basic one in case he loses interest fast! He saw one on tv and thought it was pretty cool. I am looking for one that can fly outside and is radio controlled and under $ 50....suggestions please!

    Anything THAT cheap is a TOY!!
    Suggest you look at the prices of helicopters on a ‘hobby’ website like https://www.towerhobbies.com then look under helicopters.

    I don’t know where you are but we got a cheap helicopter from here last year http://www.dealsdirect.com.au/c/toys/ . This is an Australian site but I’m sure you should be able to find similar ones where you are. They are also available new on ebay.

    Be warned they do break easily but with the one we have it’s pretty easy to get parts.
