| Yep, got one sitting here on my desk. They've been around a while now. They're good little indoor fliers. But they're jumpy as all get out. They will go hummingbird on you in a heartbeat, and can cover more ground than most people expect.
If you're going to get one, shop around and the 4#3B (the "B" version being the kicker). It's the new version, with a lot of improvements over the original, not the least of which being an alum head & swash. There've been many reports of them flying straight out of the box. Unlike the original that needed a fair amount of modding to get it fly right.
But in experienced hands, it's a fun little office flier.

Oh, don't hold your breath on the CP version, that rumor has been around for a long time! There are some small CPs around, but the head speeds are so high that they're a hazard to fly in the house.
Helicopters don't fly, they beat the air into submission. |
