R/C Helicopter Controller?

I bought a SBEGO R/C AIRPLANE SERIES No. 69005, a small helicopter, and the remote control doesn’t work. The vendor wouldn’t look at it, and my own attempts to repair it weren’t effective. Does anyone know where I can buy a new controller?
I tried Googleing it myself with similar results.But I am sure the company is called SBEGO, with the S being stylized.

R/C airplane or rc helicopter?

I was wondering which should i get (the links would be at the bottom). Either an rc airplane or an rc helicopter. I really like both. The airplane is about twice as much as the helicopter. I like airplanes but they need a bigger field to fly at (i know alot of big open fields) but the helicopter doesn’t need as much room to fly but is a little smaller but is half the price of the airplane. I am a fan of airplanes and helicopters but idk which to choose. im such a fan i want to learn how to fly an airplane or a helicopter and maybe own one of my own. i really really like both but just don’t know.What advantages does one over the other are major?
HERE ARE THE 2 LINKS?

Best starter r/c ?

I am really looking into buying an R/C , but am not sure whether to get an airplane or a helicopter. I already have a Jeep that was fun when I was younger, but is too easy now. I have never flown an R/C airplane or helicopter. I am 13, going on 14. I am in gifted classes and on my school’s Academic Bowl team. I do not want to spend more than 100 dollars for an R/C, unless that is 100% unbreakable. I want a challenge, something that I’ll have to spend time perfecting my flying capabilities, not something where I can just pick up the controller and do stunts with it. Any info on good s would be appreciated!
