Default RE: Swift Mini-X heli...

Thanks Bill that's a bit disappointing about the battery life. The website shows something like 5-6 minutes. Still, that little 'copter was just too cute to resist. Also, if I'm gonna spend a lot of time bashing something into the furniture, it had better be small and light.
I'm thinking/hoping that with some practice on this one I'll be better prepared to try a single rotor copter when outdoor flying time comes around. I had one along the lines of a Honeybee about 2 yrs ago and spent more money on parts than I did on the copter and still never got the knack of hovering it despite a lot of time with the Esky sim which I actually got pretty good at.
Is there any place in the US carrying these helis and/or parts? Shipping costs from Hong Kong are killer.
