Yes, I have one, and it does fly. It has no pitch control, and the motors are three speed, not variable speed. But it is very stable, well built and designed, and with some effort, can be flown "around". Will train you to keep the nose pointed out. After crashing my Piccolo, I would switch to this heli and have a blast. It convinced me that I actually could fly. And you can't beat the price. Now have a Blade CP and a Trex, but still fly it.
