just my 2cents. I just bought a 120SR. Watch out for the tail motor. Mine burned out second evening of operation. Stock battery was also bad. HH is sending me a brand new one but I am grounded until it arrives. Indoors vs outdoors: If you can get it off the floor, you can hover indoors but it tends to pendulum around alot if you try moving it much. This is intrinsic to the 45 degree flybar design. Until the tail died, I had better luck flying outdoors over soft grass where there is enough room for the thing to swoosh around. If you do loose control, its better to dump into soft grass than your wall or in my case, refrigerator. Just don't fly in any wind until you get the hang of it.
Wow, I'm surprised you had a tail motor go that quickly and a bad battery. I have hammered my 120 pretty badly off of everything from walls, refrigerator, and outside I tried flying in a little too much wind and it took it up, up and over my screened in porch that is above my walk out basement about 35 ft in the air and I panicked and dumped the elevator only to watch it bounce off the roof and drop in the stones! All I broke was the flybar, body posts and canopy. I do agree with you totally that outside in the grass is good if there is NO, NO, NO wind because it really does get blown around easily. I was just saying that the turnaround time is much shorter if your lhs carries the parts we break so often, and the support is nonexistent for some of those overseas companies. Any heli will have it's share of problems after I get ahold of it for a while.
IS IT STILL A LANDING IF IT REQUIRES REPLACEMENT PARTS????
