I've seen on-line videos on the retailers web site where it was being flown a lot more accurately, and other people haven't compained, so maybe it's just me/my room/my helicopter.
    I've got one too but its been grounded as I value my LCD TV a lot more, it takes off and just flanks to the left before crashing.

    We used to have remote controlled helicopters back in the days before remote desktop.

    Used to save us walking up the stairs when we could fire up the helo and see what the stupid user was doing from the live video link.

    The head of executive security for a large bank in England has just bought a pink helicopter.

    I know 'cause I was there when he bought it.

    He had me take him to the shop, normal hourly rate of course.

    Grow out of your fantasy world and try flying the real thing.

    Ahem. I do not wish to be thought of as one who "flies the pink helicopter".
