lmfao....

man I have used that software before... really isnt that useful imo!! best thing u can do is hit your local field and learn from somebody there

Those things are so easy to learn... my neighbour had one when I was younger.

But I always was a quick learner... and besides the years of videogames when I was youger helped allot

well i'll give it a shot sometime but i've heard horror stories of people buying 1,000.00 helis only to crash them into bits a few seconds after liftoff

I remember when I was younger my uncle bought one of those things... Put it together piece by piece....

First time out on the field he had it flying around, then all of a sudden it started twiliring around like a tornado and them BAM.... broke into a bunch of piece's... LOL

I hope you have better luck...
