Its a pretty good heli for the money. It isn't a trex, but it isn't bad to learn on. It can be upgraded quite a bit, and the mods to the tail rotor make quite a difference. Stock setup just doesn't hold well for anything.

Is the eclipse negative or positive shift? The BCPP uses a neg shift rx.

One charge and go. It comes with everything. Just mount the battery and go. Very user friendly. I mean you do have to tweak the tail mix and gyro gain on the 3 in1 a bit to suit your flying style, but that is absolutely it.

Pros:
Price
Looks
Readily Available parts
Reasonable performance stock

Cons:
It really is alcking in the tail rotor dept.
Doesn't handle wind well at all
Skids can fall out for no reason
Glitches quite a bit too.

Hope this helps.
