man this thing is cool. i also recieved one for xmas and just got into planes and aircraft at the end of last summer so i was itching to fly. and since it's freezing out i thought i'd get one of these. i got the training gear and crash kit and another set of blades. 1st battery just moped around the ground, second started hoving shortly and third battery trying to hover longer. i can keep it hovering but i run out of room and panic when it starts getting close to a wall, im in a 25'x25' garage. and i have gone through 3 batteries now and 2 set's of blades. i can't wait to get this out in a field.
