Cheap RC Helicopters

My father enjoys inexpensive remote control helicopters, and they are kinda fun. Here are some videos and basic information about 3 models:

BladeRunner2 – 3 Channel, Sale Prices: ~$50
Mosquito – 3 Channel, ~$80
HavocHeli(Walmart) – 2 Channel, $20

2 Channels: Up/Down, Left/Right turn. Helicopter is weighted to constantly fly slightly forward.
3rd Channel: a Forward/Backward (Weighting not required)

After flying the BladeRunner2 and Mosquito for a few hours(over many months), I find myself wanting to get a 4+ channel to increase the control and difficulty level. 4CH Hughes 300 is tempting @ $115 Shipped on ebay(Although that is a lot to spend on a plastic flying machine ;)
