I just want to thank you for all your advice. A friend of mine ended up buying a V911 for me as an early birthday gift, and I'm loving it! It does take a while to get used to, but I'm getting there. It really is a lot of fun with a lot of range for such a small helicopter and transmitter. WL did a really good job with this one! Thank you for the advice to go four channel rather than 3 or 3.5 as well.
