    It's pretty hard to fly and very fragile, mine was fun until I crashed it the first time. No collateral damage, but it was broken beyond repair.

      A friend of mine bought one (not sure which type) and it could only go up/down and forward/backward. So, not right/left. So if you're buying one, make sure you find out if you don't have to follow it around all the time.

        Ha used to work for a sho that sold these when they were like 300 quid back in college !
        They re pretty hard to fly at first if you ve never flown anything like that although the ones with 2 counter rotating rotors are the easiest !
        We had a few flying round the shop when it was quiet lots of fun but you need quite a bit of room !
        You need to fucking good to fly it round the office or your lounge !
        Go out and get a proper nitro heli and fly it out side if thats what you want !

          Looks good but not practical and as you said very fragile, I have a flying saucer just like that but not so expensive around $50! Don't worry about crushing down
          coz its not gonna broke even a hundred times you crush down! It can fly more than 4 storey building.

            I bought one of the 25 dollar models and the thing has crashed at least a 100 times and it still works great. I even had one of the rotor blades snap and put it back together with scotch tape.

            We got a little tipsy one night after the bar and set up a course in my garage with looped ropes hanging from the ceiling. the goal was to make it through all the loops without crashing.

              I have one, my wife flies it better than me...

                They're pretty fun to fly, but difficult. The one's with the counter rotors are much easier though.

                  I agree, I can't wait to buy one sometime... I actually went over to hobby town a few weeks ago and was thinking of buying one, but I think I'm just going to wait for the real thing, one of the big boys that I can fly outside.

                    We have been through two of them, both lasted no longer the 24hrs. We originally bought the 1st one to chase the dog around the house with, but the dog ate it on the first oppertunity. With the 2nd one, my boyfriend made a very unwise decision when he decided to launch it off my head really quick before I could react, of course it got tangled in my hair and no longer works. He is not allowed to have anymore, besides they're not that easy to control. I recommend the bigger ones, just don't launch em' off anyones head
