Colormeweb,

OK, assembly process is much the same for most small helis...assembly is required and most of the time it's more than just a "stick it together" process. The more precise you are in the assembly the more precise the heli will fly (true with ALL helis). Small errors in the setup on a mini/micro amount to a much larger percentage of error compared to a larger heli. The biggest problem with the mini/micro helis is they tend to be MUCH more difficult to fly even indoors. The possible exception to that is the Corona which seems to fly pretty well and is by all accounts, almost indestructable. Not trying to persuade you one way or the other, Indoor helis are fun, but CAN be a handful for an inexperienced pilot (nothing like flying into expensive dishware...trust me I KNOW). I just wanted to make sure you have as many of the facts as possible to base your decisions on. Good Luck and Good Flying
