Motion RC is an amazing company. Now, this product has GPS or software issues when it’s operated on GPS mode. It drifts on turns or stops into a hover without input. In angle mode is a beautiful helicopter, de quality is great too. I ordered 3 of them at the same time, all of them have the GPS problem. I also own the flywing UH-1 V4 and the bell 206, these helicopters are beautiful on GPS mode, they are rock solid and responsive. The RotorScale 470 RTF has to be revised, since it has many unresponsive maneuvers.I put my request to return these items or at least get a solution for the GPS problems.The models that I own are Bell 206, UH -1 and the Airwolf.

I just received my 470 size Bell 206 by Roban. I have several Fly Wing 450 size helicopters that I like very much, but the four new Roban 470 series are above and beyond in all respects. The 470 is right between the 450 and the 500 in size, price, and ease of handling. In addition, I like that the LED lights are already installed witch saves me a lot of frustrating work. I also like that for $16 extra shipping I received the Heli that I ordered yesterday at 2 PM today. The picture I included shows a 450, 470, and 500 size Helicopters.

I have FlyWing helis and they look like a toy compared with Roban craftsmanship on these 470's, they also not only have a better and bigger fuselage, paint job, mechanics, but they already com with the Navigation lights with 8 difference modes. Also, the X-2 Flight Controller does not need calibration. There is a 56 pages manual that I highly recommend you can download here - https://www.robanmodel.com/product-manuals/43fcabc2-de18-4b57-b5b0-5739bb5aa211 - Also there is a Facebook Board for discussion about Roban RTF helis here - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1097531305486328
