I'm the same way. If I had it to do over again, I would not have spent the money on this bird, and I would have gotten a Honey Bee King 2. The dual motor heli's are always going to be sub-par in comparison. I'm ready for more power so I can fly like the big boys. This one flies like a cub. It will loop, but only after diving. It's fun to chase the horses around the pasture, but that's about all it's good for. I figure it will cost another $200 to go brushless, direct drive tail, and telebee gyro. That also includes going with a conventional receiver and adding a speed control. I just don't think it's worth it.
