got bored of it sold it, then wished i hadnt mine was just a boggo 4 channel but was ace fun. Lot more stable and more fun to fly than a normal set up. Better for indoor use you can fly it in your front room, handy in the summer its like aircon

My mate Brian got a cheapo off ebay. Double horse or something it was called, search for it.

He buzzed it round the garden a few times, not bad.

He took it down the park and all was going well until it got a bit high. Instead of failing then resuming control once it was back in range it just took off to his left.

He found it two streets away ! Minimal damage and still fly's no problem.

that one looks cool... with the amount of crashes im having i think i should have moved up to a 4 channel... oh well im sure i will stop crashing it after another few weeks of practise.

If your's is the same one thats in the vid then i think yours is a 6ch set up and thats a bit more than a beginner should be using. Seen those iron horse jobbies look very beginner friendly. Hope you have bought plent of spare blades

i tried it and succesfully crashed it a couple of times...somewhere in a box.

I have one of these, although it rarely ever sees the light of day. It isnt the most versatile of hilicopters, but good fun if someone comes to visit and they have a dog!

Old school.
Bought it when I could afford one as I never could as a kid.
I've never flown it, never got around to servicing it and setting it up properly.

It still lies dormant.

Oi !! I like to think im a pro pilot !!

I did start off flying a three channel... too easy.. so i skipped the 4 channel( again easily mastered) and got the 6 channel mcpx as in the video, they are quite tough and you dont really do any damage when flying in a field and the parts are cheap enough.
Its just taking abit of time getting used to it.
