I don't own a falcon but have flown one, they fly as well as any other less expensive heli out there. It all depends on your set up, don't buy another heli, work on getting yours set up correctly and enjoy it. From what I've seen, nothing RTF is truely "Ready to fly" until you set it up correctly. The Falcon will hover with very little stick input and hold a heading fairly well, work on it and ask some questions on the set up in the Falcon thread. Good Luck.
