From my experience, the thing will (most likely) end up broken from all the crashes while learning how to fly it and some models will not work outside because sunlight interferes with the infrared signal from the remote.

Yes, a true RC helicopter has quite a learning curve and they can be rather fragile. I’d suggest one with dual rotors (each spins in the opposite direction) for a much easier to control beginner helicopter.
