Revorash,
I'm using it and for me it's great! I first used it when I had a weekend of rain, instead of flying the CP I played on the sim all weekend, the following week my flying had improved significantly. Currently, I've been a month or so with nothing but the sim, trying to get at least an hour a day on it, I got my MX built over the weekend, put it in the air and have yet to crash it... so, in my opinion, it's well worth the cash! Both the CP and the MX400 seem to be pretty close to real to me..
and besides that, where else can you crash thousands of dollars worth of toy helicopters before breakfast and walk away with a smile on your face and not feel guilty?
