In fact, have signed up for this forum as I own (Christmas gift from my son's godfather) the HoverLites unit of which you speak. Flies well for the price. BUT...there are flaws in it's design/electronics. For instance, there is a stabilization wire extending from the top of the motor, at about a 30 degree rake/angle toward the rear of the unit toward the rear stabilization tail rotor. There is a small screw/nut set that secures this wire to the frame itself. The nut either fell off, or was missing from the start. Flew the unit for the first time today. (1/6/08) Consequently, the heli crashed and broke apart. SO....this is not a consumer issue...it's a manufacturer's defect. Trying to get in touch with the California importer to see if this unit can be replaced. So...beware....Have a good new year. The instruction manual only points to the Innovage LLC importer company.
