and it flys upside-down

indoor and outdoor use

And that included your controller, batteries and a "range bag" right?



yep, ready to run, battery and everything. no carrying bag, but you can use the box to carry... it has a handle. oh and i bought a power supply 4-6 amp (about 24 bucks) because i wanted to be able to charge it at home.

Sweet! Tower hobbies?

I have zero flying experience, so i aint gonna start on a crasher...i mean, chopper.....
 
btw, they charge $20 for shipping 🙁 but overall, still a pretty decent deal. Check out the Dragonfly

it took me about 2 weeks to master hovering, you gotta buy the training gear.....

thats the place to buy one online


iv'e had my helicopter for about 2 months now, ive spent about $100 on repairs,and a bigger extra battery (it run about 30 mins now) and mainly blades ($10)

soon i hope i can do stunts

sooner or later you will want a better charger than what the company has for you but starting out, the whole kit is fine
 
I would have just ordered it if it was $100 or less. But $240? no thanks.

Looks sweet though.

this one only has three chans, though, from the discovery chan store.

those are okay for fun, but theres no learning experience from those things if you wanna move up to a nice heli

what do you think of this one? I've been planning on getting it for awhile

thats cool, although its fixed pitch, meaning the only way to go up or down is changing rotor speed. fixed pitch helicopters cant fly outdoors or do any stunts but they are easier to control
