I've never flown a real heli and they seem easier for me to fly than I would think from what I have read. I've been thinking about buying a GWS Mini Dragonfly for a while
Micro helis are not easy to fly, they are "very" unstable. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it can't be done, I'm just saying it's not easy. A lot of people think they can just buy a micro heli and step off their back porch and start flying them, that's a long way from the truth. If you get a GWS Dragonfly you will see what I mean.
