Yes it can be fun and games, imagine those capers with a larger model
They are a hard thing to learn to fly, planes are harder still in some ways...once you take off you are committed to doing a circuit and then landing the thing...most who take off without any help, smash the model within seconds.
The good thing about the helicopter is that you can hover...and do little hops...and just get used to how the controls work.
I think its silly of these companys to see these bargain helis that are '3D ready'...its crazy.
These switches should be disabled and clearly marked as such....these little helis might seem cute but they can give some nasty cuts.
Have you got a simulator?
