“I bought this heli for practising flying with SAFE off and trying some more advanced manouvers at home (including inside) whenever I had a spare moment. Doing basic flying was just fine, but as soon as I started practising more advanced stuff and crashing it unfortunately broke much easier than I was expecting. One of the posts that hold the flight controller and canopy in place snapped which I now read is a very common part to break on these helis, but as a result one of the rubber insulators (between the frame and flight controller) has been lost forever and is not available as a spare part (only comes included if you buy a whole new flight controller).
I’ve managed to repair it pretty well but it’s never quite flown the same again since. I’ve broken a main blade and a feathering/spindle shaft as well and while these obviously wouldn’t have happened if I wasn’t crashing, I bought this heli largely based on its advertised resilience and ability to withstand crashing while I learn.
Ultimately, its underpowered, has short flight times and is not as resilient with crashes as I would have liked but it is still the only collective pitch heli I would fly indoors so I still enjoy it but just not quite to the potential I had in mind when I bought it.
It is also a relatively cheap heli to learn repairs on which is good, but it can be tricky to work on being so incredibly small”
