Answer 2

Helicycle is nice

Rotorway is ok too but scary with piston engine.

Baby belle or safari as it is called now is ok

mosquito is ok too.

All need a rotorcraft licence (private) as a min.

They are VERY hard to fly compared to a larger helicopter or airplane. They are very touchy. It will take about 10 hours just to learn how to hover safely and about 40-50 hours to fly it well. I have owned 2 of the helicopters listed about and LOVED them both the feeling of flying is incredible....Do Not attempt to fly anything without training though...It will crash and it very well might kill you.....I now own larger helicopters as my tastes and family have grown...but i still miss the feel of the little birds.
