You better do some research. The RC helicopter is the hardest of the RC models to fly. Some have an auto-gyro that helps tremendously, and in general those models are electric. Because you used the word "petrol", I've included a UK web location. The easier helicopter is electric. Dont' forget the radio controller which is FM band for the models that fly and AM band for the models that roll on the ground -- sets you back anywhere between $100-250. Looking around for you, I found the very best prices were on eBay. Do some research and compare prices.

I see the Americans are getting in the act again. Their information can be very misleading to UK questioners. Transmitters in this country are usual all FM. The difference over here is all aircraft must fly on the 27 or 35Mhz band. Land or sea based vehicles can use 27 or 40 Mhz bands.
You say petrol , so I can only assume that you are new to this hobby. Very few models use petrol. They are usually glow ignition and , therefore, run on methanol. You need to seek out a local club, the BMFA can give you a list of these for your area. Go to their website. Go along and talk to the members. Most clubs welcome new members and are willing to tutor you to a level where you can fly solo and gain your A cetificate. Please, don't go away and try it on your own. You will very disappointed and spend a lot of money. The club members will advise you on the type of aircraft to buy and, normally, where to buy it at the right price. If buying one off eBay, get advice before parting with your money. A ¼ scale Spitfire does not a good training aircraft make.

Got mine from Ebay in Spain but midland helicopters have a website, and they i believe are the biggest R/C helicopter store in U.K and possibly Europe, they will have what your looking for! Also i recommend buying a simulator for your computer to first learn how to fly, its alot cheaper and less dangerous to start off with, then go on to the real thing when you have mastered the controls. Although i taught myself without any helpfull devices, but it takes time and a split second of wrong input could be costly whilst learning...

If you are really talking about petrol (or pre-mix) engine powered helicopters they are the best. The rest are just glow-fuel toys.
The cheap/common/stunt type of R/C helicopters run in NitroMethane but the big cool ones run on Gasoline/oil mix or Jet-A turbine power!
If you have the money Vario is the way to go.
