Yeah it is for now as well man...if u do "get the bug" owning just 1 heli is never enough and resistance is futile ...fdd u might consider a t-rex 450 for a later 2nd model....1st heli i would advise a contra rotating small elec (4 channel) heli to nail the 4 orientations in hover (check ebay there are 1000's of rip offs of the original Hirobo XRB)...tail in (tail pointing at u),both side on's (left right) and nose in..u can learn to fly helicopters 2 inch off the ground (with small elec model n e way)...it sux cos its abit boring learning 4 orientations in hover but once u can nail them forward flight is not a problem....then same applies to inverted flight after honing the right way up..."To fly is cool...But to hover is divine"
