Hi!
I would like to make an autonomous helicopter. I've heard that planes are easier, so I can't decide... I have never flown a heli or a plane before. I have 800 dollars, what's the best uav setup for me? (Note: I'm an absolute beginner and I really like helicopters?
Where should I start, what should I buy? Please reply!!!
Thanks you!

Don't start with a heli. It will cost you thousands of dollars and months of work to get it to fly, and that's assuming you're a great programmer. Start with an EasyStar, learn to fly it in RC mode, and then add an ArduPilot.

This stuff is not a toy (yet). It's harder than it looks.
