Default Annoying

"The New Winner Full Function 3 Channel Indoor RC Helicopter is a full 3-D flight Helicopter"
What's up with this? It's 3 channel. IT CAN'T DO 3D!
I see these annoying little things everywhere saying they can do 3d...

Maybe they mean "3-D' as in it ain't flat?

Sad truth is, most people that buy those things have no clue what 3D is.

If you are the man... it will do inverted flight. Pansies! I would loop that thing all day (if I did not have to pay for mistakes)

Actually, it does 3d flight. 3 dimentional. forward/back, left/right, up/down.

OUR definition of 3d is different than that of the general population, and is kinda dumb if you think about it. Antyhing that flys, flys in 3d.

Its all marketing. They can say anything. As stated, their def is different. I get sick of them selling these cheap toys as RC, but its what it is. I bought one of the little rc micros, and it is actually a blast. I got it for $30 on ebay, now they are selling for $60. Glad I got it when I did. Everyone that flys it really likes it, even though it only goes up and down, and spins. I put some weight in the nose so now it flys forward too. Its a kick in the tail!
