Tell you what....just tried flying it without the training ***** and it is easier to fly without them!

Ok, so if you get it wrong it is more likely to damage it and possibly roll over, but it is much easier to maintain a decent hover without them.

I didnt even bother buying the training *****, ive just learnt on the skids..

Piece of **** to fly facing the rear.. i can fly almost anywhere, up/down the stairs and though doorways are no problem.

However,

Tough as funk to fly facing the front lol

This is what interests me so much in the Heli. Ive got a servo in my race car that cost more alone than my whole Helicopter. But the Heli IMO is probably the most enjoyable model ive ever bought, there's just so much to learn flying the Heli...

I love it because its such a challenge
