I SOLD MINE...

Allan Bowker | Jul 17, 2008

Strengths:

Innovative. Entertaining for a while. . .

Weaknesses:

Weakness of thin foam areas. Blades chop into foam surrounds on hard landings. Gyro doesn't always correct properly. Cost is a bit expensive.

Overall:

I used mine about a dozen times, indoor and outdoors and although it was mildly entertaining for a while it became obvious that it would soon break easily and that the gyro wouldn't always bring the craft back level properly. This then led to you flying the craft in a level hover with the sticks all over the place. You can't hover this "hands off" by any means. Batter lasted about 10mins.
