Buying boyfriend a RC Helicopter for xmas. How do I choose which one to buy?

My Boyfriend is going to school to become a Helicopter pilot and has been wanting a RC helicopter. I want to get him one for christmas but I have no idea which one to get. He has never flown an RC Helicopter. I am looking to spend about around a $80 to $120 on one. I want to get him one that does all the cool stuff like flies upside down and stuff. I understand that is takes alot of training so I dont want one that is to difficult but at the same time I dont want one that does nothing but go left and right. Whats the best one for my money that is not gonna break easy?

I need help! Boyfriends x-mas list, help me find websites please?

I need UK websites that sell this stuff, I havetried looking but I am finding very little, this is his list;

Rocket-with spare motors? (I tried looking for these but I want a complete set, I dnt understnad what launchers / motors I need for what rockets e.t.c but it also needs to be abit hard, he is good at making things so a kids set is really no use)

Water jet engines for my new RC boat Groupa – that I am planning to build using
balsa wood – but will need 2 (He said Groupa engines, but I have no idea how to spell it and cant find any searching for Groupa)

Ducted fan jet engine for my new RC boat that I am planning to build using
balsa wood – one of these (I dont know what to look for)

Books for various kinds (any new Warhammer 40 k releases or similar things?)

Pc games of various kinds–lol maybe only one or 2 ( I will work this out)

Wii version of madden maybe ( I get this obviouslu)

More balsa wood and glues etc (I know what he needs here too)

Warhammer 40K aircraft models – prefer warhammer 40k epic models-which are
smaller and a lot lot cheaper (I cant find anywhere that sells the aircraft models, he wants to build himself so I cant find much)

Various warhammer paints to paint everything with (he told me which he likes)

Various plastic aircraft models to build ( I know what he wants here too)

Obviously, I need more info from him, but can anyone suggest anything based on this? he likes building stuff and is good at it, so kids sets are no use, he would finish them in a few mins. So any advise?
Hehe, no he doesnt expect all that, thats just a list of suggestion so I can ick a few from. And yes, I have google! I try typing it in and unless you know what you are looking for, things like model rockets arent easy, especially if you dont understan things like launchers and different engines! I was hoping somene who understands these things would be able to suggest kits or warhammer websites that sell the air craft models, I have only found 1!
And yup – tried e-bay already, similar problems on there… thank you anyway!

What should i spend $250 bucks on?

i was going to get a nitro rc car that rac around 400 but my mom didnt approve with me borrowing money. So i like stuff that has to do with racing stuff becasue im a motocrosser. i got 250 bucks and i dont want any video games…no paintball guns either cuz you consistenly have to buy amo, the air tanks, etc. any siggestions??? i have an ipod already and i want something that is fun to play with just to mess around and something i can kind of work on if i need to servce it.

Old Movie Question?

OK there was a movie i saw when i was a kid but i cant for the life of me remember what it was called. It was a horror movie too. OK the movie was like this. There were a bunch of kids whos parents went on vacation or something, and when the parents were gone a bunch of weird stuff starts to happen, scary stuff. Monsters and such. But at the end there was this giant demon like creature rises through the center of the floor and was like 50 feet tall. And the way the kid kills the monster was with a model rocket that he shoots into the demons chest. Ive always wanted to see this one since i was a kid but cant remember the name. HELP PLEASE.

Can an RC helicopter carry a CO2 tank?

i have an idea for paintball but before i go buying stuff i need to know if the helicopter can hold the weight of a CO2 tank. If you people can give me names of helicopter brands that can, that would be appreciated.

Does anybody know about the Reaction 1/10 2wd RTR Nitro Truck rc car?

Im just wondering how everyhting holds up on likr if it breaks real easy and stuff like that.
Im just wondering how everyhting holds up on like if it breaks real easy and stuff like that and how well the remote start works.

Does anybody else want a MAGNETIC LEVITATION?

train model similar to this useless outdated stuff LEGO has here:

http://www.lego.com/eng/city/products.asp?id=7897&catid=trains

It must be remote controlled, It must look like regular train (no tapering edges) and must float on magnet track with controlled speed.
