Just picked up one of these new copters in the IPad accessory at Target

Waiting for it to finish charging and then learn to fly it.

WOW, talk about a learning curve after being use to using the Airhog controller. Will have to take it
outside on a calmer day before a break it. LOL

IDK I think the Syma S107 is cheaper and easier to fly. This heli smells gimmicky to me I would be much more impressed if it had a FPV camera and tilt controls on the phone or something. IMO the IR controller is a better way to go.

Careful outside these IR Helis don't fly well with the interference by sunlight and other light sources (at dark its ok though).

So far, I have only flown it 3 times with my Ipod or Ipad2. Ipad2 much easier since it is
so much bigger and easier to control. Have crashed it 3 times to. I just can`t use to using
the controls this way after using real controls for so long.
