I strongly agree with you guys. In fact, The Quark is the first heli I was able to fly and land (not crash).
When I decided to quit this hobby 2 years ago (out of frustration), my total flight time for the 4 previous helis I've owned was no more than 10 minutes. OK, it's my fault...I was a beginner and still a beginner. But I could have bought at least 3 Quarks for the money I've spent there (that includes parts and accessories).
My total flight time with the Quark is more than an hour already since I got it last week. I've crashed it several times but the only parts I had to replace so far were the rotor blades. And since those parts came with the Quark, I never had to order them and wait for days before I could fix it. Can you guys name any other beginner helis as cost-effective and fun to fly as the Quark?
Not out there. Thunder Tiger has unveeild a very close concept call Innovator (I wonder why the name because it looks like the same principal as the Quark, integrated electronics, two motors...) The scale version looks nice MD-530. Maybe more outdoors than in?

So far the problem for me is that maybe the RTF has to come with a 2.4 GHZ TX/RX (I fly my Quark with a JR 6102), will see.
