The LaTrax was a little sketchy to fly when I first started. Like the first flight was 5 seconds in the air near the ground and it hit a chair. It was fairly easy once I got about three flights under my belt. It's pretty cool how the thing auto-trims itself. On mine the tx has trim adjusters, but each time you shut off the copter and plug a new battery in, the trims reset and it self-trims itself. So the trim adjusters are not even necessary. It's a very capable and fast quad, quite robust as well. The one problem I occasionally have is the props cracking near the screw that holds them on, but only if you over-tighten the screw, which is pretty easy to do. Other than that, I really like it. It doesn't carry much of a payload because of it's size and weight, so I can imagine if I got the optional camera or light bar it might have a little trouble. Great copter though.

Have thought about buying a LaTrax, seeing as how it has better electronics and sounds easier to control and learn on. (What was your first time experience like with the LaTrax, Nate?)
