Seriously, you can mess with your Colco all you want, and it still wont fly right. I had one and after hours and hours, gave up on the thing. If you want an easy to fly, and "ready to fly" heli right out of the box, I would suggest the eflite Blade CX2 or CX3. It is very affordable at $149.99, and comes complete with everything! Even a 2.4GHZ programmable Transmitter. Highly recommend buying the training set landing gear. Use the training set until you get a proper feel for the controls. The training set is only 10 bucks, and well worth it, to avoid blade breaking crashes. Hope this helps. The new CX3 comes stock with proper 3 in 1 mixing and is great for kids, and beginners to advanced pilots !
