Well, that other heli is history by now, I'm putting it on the box and going to sell it soon.
I just got today via UPS (had ordered it last Wednesday) a much better heli, a Walkera Dragonfly 22E *2007*. This is a beauty, and this one does all what the other crap one lacks.

No, I am not trying to fly in the living room, neither inside the house, I don't even know how to fly yet, if I try inside the house I'd end up breaking everything including the heli...hehe. - I put it outside and already chip one of the blades. I need a much bigger area to fly, so I'll go try find a place in the countryside away from my city. - Meanwhile my place to fly will be.....on my computer! - This beauty comes with the cable to attach it to the PC and with the a flight simulator which I already had not one but three of them a week or two ago...hehe.....so once I "manage" to learn to fly and land save on the PC, I will ever try again the real thing.

I am in no hurry, I'm not a kid, so I have lots of patience,....and time to spend....I'll take it easy on this, if I've learned harder things in life, I wouldn't doubt I learn to fly these beauties....I just need space, lots of space, lots of practice on the PC, and a training kit that already also came with the package....but I found there is a missing part that goes in the center, Walkera calls it "the flying sauce pan", I already sent an e-mail to the seller asking if he could send me that piece....if not I think I can make one with a piece of plastic and drill four holes in it, that shouldn't be hard to make, but he's suposed to send me that piece.....even though it was a "bonus", well maybe he's not obligated to send it to me either...hehe.

For the time being, I am already about to hook up this beautiful controller (transmitter) to the PC and see how things go....I got the cable included in the package.

Take care.
