I need help choosing a sub-micro R/C Helicopter for a beginner?

I am after a sub-micro RC helicopter for mainly flying around my house. I have narrowed it down to two that look very cool:

Micron CX

& the -

Walkera 5#5

But I am open to suggestions.

Does anyone have experience of these two? Which do you recommend? Why does everyone on the net dislike Micron products? Any others I should consider?

Thanks in advance!

    I have a Blade CX, too....it took me approximately a day or so to get the feel for the controls, and I crashed a couple of times...did a little damage, but no worries---got some spare parts, a little bit of repair time, and I was back in the air....I got smart and bought the training gear (which is nothing more than four pingpong balls mounted to the skids) so if I had to cut power in a hurry, any imminent impact with the ground wouldnt be so harsh.

    Good Luck!

    PS---if you're going to fly in the house, make sure you have lots of room to fly, and at least 8 feet of ceiling space....even though the micro heli-chopper is small, it's quick.....

    PPS---don't worry about stupid gits like 'akfiddy'.....can't even spell the word "hobby" so it sounds like he/she's not intelligent enough to learn about R.C. anyhow! >:-)
