I have been teaching a friend how to fly rc helis for about 2 months. When he had mastered the Blade Cx, I decided he should try something a little more complicated, so I got out the Night Ranger II. I had him fly 15 flights successfully with the buddy box, so I let him go solo. He was doing really good until about 3 minutes in, when it sped forward towards the wall, then he shoved the radio into my hands and I whipped it around, but it was too late. It hit the wall, fell 5 feet into concrete, and slid 4 feet on the ground. I picked it up, and staightened out the UNHARMED blades and popped them back into place. I set it on the ground and took off again, I couldn't believe it. If I would have done this with one of my 3-D helis, they would be toast. This is a great low-cost fixed pitch trainer heli that will save you money when it comes to replacement parts.
