bummer to hear you guys are having such problems with yours. when the MM is flying properly, its a fantastic heli, better than the picco in my opinion (you get more control and precision over the picco, but the picco gets the speed - there's always a tradeoff).

but, like i said before, first gen production models always have more problems, wait till the 2nd gen comes out and things should be much better (probably cheaper as well).
