Seen them used for years. Many people use them and like them. If you like the looks of it and think it will hlep, give it a try. It isn't much different than the one I used to learn on 20 years ago.

first saw one back in 1990.Decided to just use the usual "sticks and balls".
My opinion is ,use sticks and balls,saving some money for that $20 per gallon fuel!
GOOD LUCK!

I already know how to hover and fly, I just thought it was a cool idea... I dont think its worth $200 though, unless someone is really having trouble learning to hover.

I'm not amazingly good at nose-in, maybe it would help with that. But practice will prove otherwise.

The only way to get good at nose-in is to burn fuel. More fuel burnt, the easier it gets. On the other hand for $200 I'd get myself a simulator as you can do so much more on a sim than just hover.

Well said. For $200 you could get reflex, which is about the closest thing you can get to real life really. Or RF G3. And they both do more than just helis.
