I've never even flown a heli on the sim and after having it about a week I am able to put it in a pretty stable hover. I can almost land on a box that is the exact size of the training gear spread. The tricky part is not letting one of those ping-pong balls hit the edge... lol You will L-O-V-E this helicopter! I almost sleep with it on my pillow at night! I've been flying planes for several years now, and couldn't believe how different these two are from each other! I've flown the full scale version of fixed, and rotor, so knew a little bit of what to expect.

My place is probably not too friendly for a new heli pilot, so will wait to try forward flight at a more open space. Every time I start to move forward things go downhill. haha. Oh well, it's still a BLAST! I already have a video camera system hooked up to it, so that's entertaining to watch! Specially my one crash from the box! I was surprised how well it did with the extra weight too... does just fine even with stock engine/batteries!
