It looks way unstable? What a silly thing to say. He was flying 3D almost the entire video. He hovered it 3 times. One time inverted, another time inverted and pirouetting and the last time upright and priouetting. I'd say it looked fantastic especially for such a small machine.

The 250 is a small heli with a very fast head speed when it is set for 3d flying, in the video the machine is set up for 3d so it is going to appear 'twitchy', I am sure it will be fairly stable when its set up for normal flying.

I just got my Trex 250 up and running. Incredibly well manufactured kit. I got the super combo with the servos and gyro. All are top quality all metal parts, metal geared servos, etc. Quite a change from what I am used to (Trex 600). Goes together very well. It comes with its own tools (micro hex & screw drivers, tweezers, etc.). The only issue I had was setting up the gyro as it could be flown with any Trex model. It is very stable for being so small, that comes from someone who cant fly 3d...yet! It looks like Align has the market cornered...lookout Gaui and other micro machines!
