What is the best brand to buy? In other words what brand can I rely on not having trouble getting spare parts for?

I recently got a Coast Gaurd that was only just released last week, for $200, but today I accidently flew it waaaaaaaaaay to high over residential and it landed (crashed) on someone's roof (assuming) so I've spent the last 4 hours handing 'Is there a Helicopter in your backyard?' flyers into the mailbox's of suspected candidates.

I have a highest bid pending on ebay for a Black Hawk, damn they're fun.

Anyone share this hobby?

i was really into r/c planes about a year ago, when i had more disposable income. man they sure are fun.

never got into helicopters though... i imagine i would find it much easier to crash, haha

I want get one of those foam ac planes, really small and crazy maneuverable.

Any pics of the chopper you crashed ?

No pics of the chopper I crashed because I haven't recieved it back.... my paper slips in letter box's hasn't payed off :(

And yes they are very easy to crash, I beleive they have a very long learning curve, but I got the hang of it before I crashed it this bad.

And I lost the damn bid and am currently battling another, I say to the bidders against me: BRING THE PAIN!!

This is the one I am currently bidding for:

"I accidently flew it waaaaaaaaaay to high over residential and it landed (crashed) on someone's roof "

 Just out bid ya on ebay, not realy just jokin

I was hesistant to posting that here incase someone out bidded me just for kicks. LOL.

Cool you're still winning the bid....

And Hus... I had one of those foam RC planes, pretty similar to the one this guy has:

It went like super fast. Until I crashed it. Haha.

Now I promised myself I would only buy planes like this:

Yay I won the bid

I don't want a plane because I think they would be easier to crash where I live. But I love those wind up ones in your pic!^
