i seen this on hobbyking and was wondering if any of you had one and what your experience with it was. it looks pretty cool and is fairly cheap in price.

Yep, I have one. Extremely easy to fly. Only 2 channel. I'd recommend one. You can set the angle of attack for high or low wind speed. But never get it stuck in a tree, youll never get it down again without a good fight.
Theyre also good for attaching cameras, lights to.

nice, how does the steering work? does it have rudders that deflect the air from the prop or does it angle the parachute somehow?

cheers!
It steers by pulling left or right side of the canopy strings. The same way a parachutist would steer. If ever you get into trouble, just steer hard one way or the other and it will spiral down nicely.
