Some folks have had problem and complants. I myself have had no major problems. My largest complant is the parts availability. This is a new heli on the market and spare parts production has not cought up with demand. Overall I am happy with mine. It is a $200.00 heli so you get what you pay for. I like mine because it is a little larger than Blade and more robust. I have never had a chance to fly a Blade so I can not compare how they fly. If you need a better quality heli then check out a T-Rex,however, be prepared to spend much more money. I think of my Axe as a gateway heli/drug that will lead to bigger and higher quality machines. Heli's are like drugs,you seem to get hooked with that first hover
