I have one, it flies incredibly well.....except last week when it took off on it's own and flew over a km away and over a lake, surprisingly it landed safely on the other side of the lake.

One of my concerns was how easy it is to use.

Do you have to have some sort of past experience with RC helicopters or is it easy

I bought one like 2 months ago and I've used it once. Seemed a bit confusing at first but then I realized I had to change the settings on the remote (phone) for "outdoor" instead of "indoor".

Hopefully I'll finally get to use it some more this weekend. It's too bad it doesn't have some sort of GPS built in so you wouldn't have to be so worried about losing it. I am surrounded by fields and if it gets away on me I'll probably never find it.

Also plan on buying two batteries. It only lasts about 12 minutes on one charge with the OEM battery.

I've played with one and had a lot of fun. But I want the real deal.

I have one and have used it a few times. It is pretty fragile and a bit hard to learn but a lot of fun.
