Don't waste your money. Won't even help you learn to fly. Pure junk. Go with a Blade pro at minimum or do it right & get a Trex.

Like rockhouse said, if you plan on being in this hobby of helis, don't waste your money. Get something that will really teach you how to fly.

To answer your question does it fly, I wouldn't have a doubt that it would fly. I am not a fan of micro electric helicopters mainly because they are horrible compared to even a 30 nitro.

Ok. That thing is a toy, not a rc model heli. It go go up/down and spin left/right. It is prettty pathetic. The first thing I bought was a Walkera Dragonfly #4. That is like a esky honeybbe. Go with a honeybee if you are on a low budget ($150-$200 or under)

Yes, I have one, and it does fly. It has no pitch control, and the motors are three speed, not variable speed. But it is very stable, well built and designed, and with some effort, can be flown "around". Will train you to keep the nose pointed out. After crashing my Piccolo, I would switch to this heli and have a blast. It convinced me that I actually could fly. And you can't beat the price. Now have a Blade CP and a Trex, but still fly it.
