I've got a magic window!
I know there are a few people here that have radio controlled helicopters, so that's why I'm sharing.
The only helicopters I've ever flown have been 3 channel coaxial helis, 2 rotors. The coaxial blade system make super stable flight, this is also true for 4 channel coaxial. They are incredibly simple to fly, and anyone can it without too many issues.
Now fixed pitch single rotor helis are a totally different story. I'm finally getting the hang of keeping it in the air after 6 or so battery packs and making slow flights around the room. I may need a bigger room to learn how to turn properly while in forward flight.
I'm glad this E-Flite Blade mSR is one tough bird. The first few flights I could only keep it in the air a few seconds. I think I've almost hit everything in the bedroom now. LOL

Thought I'd post this video of what this heli can do... I wish I could fly like this. Give me some more time.
