Hi,
I am a Newbie to the world of RC and would like to start of with a Heli. I have found 2 copters that I have read about and are suitable for beginners.

Sym 107G: - http://www.amazon.com/Syma-S107-S107G-Helicopter-Colors/dp/8499000606

and

WL V911: - http://www.amazon.com/2-4GHz-Radio-Single-Propeller-Helicopter/dp/B00762BMOI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1360855005&sr=8-1&keywords=WL+V911

I am keen on the WL V911 as the remote is 4 Channel and looks nice with the LCD display. Also if I go with this Model and when I need to upgrade to the next version can I use the same Transmitter

Training Kit:- I guess it is a must to go with a Training Kit as I have seen them being used in most training videos on Youtube

Please help me with your expert advice. I will be practicing indoors initially to begin with

no but reviews are very good and flight videos are proof of stability it is indeed more stable than the v911 ....

Thanks Guys. Also do I need to start by using A simulator before buying a RC Equipment. Are there any Transmitters that I can even use on my PC with a Simulator rather than have 2 different Transmitters one for the Simulator and another for the RC Heli.

I found 2 Simulators: - RealFlight and FMS

Dongle simulator available for 5$ on banggood.com but u will need 2 different tx as 911 tx cannot be used for simulator

You do not need to buy a training gear for the V911 :)
The radio TX is a 4ch unit. The helis you probably will upgrade to will require a 6ch Tx - this radio will not help on an upgraded heli (unledd you want to stay with 4ch helis) :)
