I have one on order and should have it within the next few days- i'll drop a post here as to it's "out of the box quality"- I have a Quick Learner coming- so comments will be based on that package.

The general consensus seems to be it's an excellent helicopter package but distributed by a "not so kind" individual- parts also seem to be finished with varying degrees of color anodizing which may not match the hue of the original kit parts- again none of this relates to the actual chopper itself- which is reputed to fly very nicely and has a tight, precise feel to it- yet a very capable 3D heli.
There are no reports of ill flying characteristics or bad habits- the main drawback seems to be slightly ill fitting/machined replacement parts- this is only a few people's observations- but my research has also shown the quality control issues seem to have disappeared (hopefully online bashing has helped)....so correct fitting replacement parts seem to be on hand (new buyers are citing perfect fits for replacement parts)

..for the money there's nothing even close to this type of heli (in terms of machined quality aluminum parts)...

...I have one coming and can't wait to get it in the air!
