Hello everyone,

I bought one 2 days ago for $149.00 at the Hobby People sale. I was so excited I spent half of the night putting it together. Thus far with my helicopter skills I have only learned to hover. I own 3 shoguns and I can never seem to keep any of them in proper tune and always fighting tail issues. My plan was to buy the Cypher because it's a 400 class and learn forward flight with it. I do not have the money to throw at a Trex or I would have done it a long time ago. I just couldn't pass the deal up.

First flight confirmed that I bought the right heli. It hovers SMOOOOTH. I have never been used to having firm tail response before in both directions. WOW what a difference from the (Fisher Price) Shogun. I have put a total of eight batteries through it and have landed in tall grass without breaking anything. I have grass stains on my main blades!

The only problem I did have was an issue with the speed controller. It acted like one of the wires on the brushless motor had a break. On startup the motor would studder and not spin. A quick trip to Hobby People and they gladly replaced it for me. So I realy don't have any complaints. I am very pleased with my new heli and look forward to hours of flying fun, who knows I might even finaly learn to fly forward since I have only been hovering around since 2002. It all started with the Smartech Aerohawk, ah yes.
