Default RE: Difference between the Piccolo Standard and the Fun Piccolo?

Tonight, I had the opportunity to fly a hummingbird for the first time. I was impressed. I did not get a lot of stick time, but I put it up in a hover and moved it around a bit. There were several things that needed tweaked, and we did not get a chance to get the gyro and mix set to my liking, but we got it trimmed faily well. The owner then took the sticks and made a respectable attempt at a hover. He was actually a whole lot smoother than I was, but like I said, we did not get the tail dialed in quite right.
I would need more stick time to form a full opinion on this bird, but the first impression was definitely favorable.
We had a good turnout at thesportsdome.com with 4 heli's (The fifth, another newbie, had a tail motor go ans is waitin for a replacement)
I am looking forward to seeing more helis there so I can compare them.
