Default First flight...

All I can say is WOW!
This little heli can perform! I enjoyed flying it today as much as my bigger ships. In fact I was able to do a much smoother roll with this heli than my Sceadu 50.
I am very impressed with the flying of this ship. ROCK solid in a hover and very nimble in flight.
I am using a set of Sceadu paddles with it. Lead weights only. I would recommend them to anyone that is past the hovering stage on this helicopter.
As for dimensions. The box is about 36 inches long, 8 inches wide and about 6 inches tall.
It will ship overseas pretty easy as Hirobo makes the kits fit in boxes that are easily shipped to anywhere by considering these dimensions before the package it.

FWIW here is my setup
