Syma Remote Controlled Helicopter for Under $20
The S107H-E RC Helicoptor is easy to use, even if you've never flown RC choppers before. The helicopter itself is small, lightweight, with a sturdy metal alloy body that's built to withstand rough landings, bumps, and even crashes.
The remote is deceptively simple with just two joysticks. The left joystick controls throttle and yaw (up/down, left/right while holding in place). The right joystick controls pitch (forward and back). Beginner-friendy features include one button takeoff and landing, an "altitude hold" feature that keeps the chopper at a constant height, and two speeds.
The chopper can last about 8 to 10 minutes before needing to recharge. You don't need to remove the batteries, simply plug the included USB cable into the body of the chopper. Keep in mind that this chopper is mostly for indoor use; it's so lightweight that it wouldn't be able to cope with any kind of wind if you try it outside.
