I am looking for something indoor, like a living room or something, just something to train on, I have flown r/c planes before and on a simulator and I am very good, it's not real life but as close as it gets.

So, can anyone suggest something like it?

Here it is:

Copter

Or any other suggests are welcome.

The RadioShack one is supposed to be good.

Every time I go in, the "battery's dead"...Yeah, right, they don't wanna let me play...:p

I think the one from geeks.com has a nicer radio.

I got it, it's weak sauce. I'd pass if I were you.

I had one that was very similare to the one you linked at Geeks, probably the same thing just with different stickers. It flies but you dont have a ton of control where it goes. After a while you can sort of guide it but its still a little hit and miss. It fell from about 10 feet one day and broke a blade pretty easily, installed a spare but it never flew the same again. Also I dropped the control from about 12in off the ground and the bottom support for the batteries broke off which makes the control pretty much useless.

this is the one i had
