Flying helicopter for 3-year-old?

My son will be 4 in March and all he wants for Christmas is a remote-controlled helicopter that really flies. Of course, being only 3, the helicopter is likely to crash quite a bit. Does anyone know of an extremely durable RC helicopter that might be suitable for a child this young?

    Unfortunately no. The ones on the market now are tough even for grown ups to fly as you have to set the trim for the gyro which can take up to 10 minutes of continuous adjusting which can be a pain. There are tons of problems with these Helli's and I see alot of Asker's on here wondering what to do. What you see on TV is not how it is out of the box. I have 6 different ones and everyone has been set up to fly as per the instructions. But...I have continuous problem's with these. Keeping them in the air is next to impossible without being patient and using trial and error.

    In reality I wish they would make one for younger kids then we all could enjoy an RC helicopter:)
