I got myself the Hornet, but after I had a few flops with other helicopters. I was a beginner when I bought the Hornet. She let fly very well from the beginning. Initially I first concentrated on the "float" and then worked as the slow beginning with the forward and backward flight. The small helicopter has now been a few hours flight and a few hefty crashes with walls, ceilings, furniture, decoration and yes, even our cat with its paw behind ... Visible and above he has no supported so far from functional damage. The specified load and flight time to get there and you can not complain here. Einiziges "shortcoming" is, however, that the helicopter does not realize how he has been trimmed in the previous flight, so that one has to make up for this every time. However, one thing of just 3 sec. and you can fully get going. A USB charging cable, I would have still desired in the delivery, but this is now bearable in the battery prices. I have loaded the helicopter with a USB charging cable from a Fun2Get Heli and can detect as no difficulties so far. The remote control also makes a (for the price) appeared healthy and in my opinion offers no criticism.
As a "beginner Heli" I would not necessarily recommend it because it so very rapidly turns its curves and a relatively large turning circle does when he then came times in full swing. Every beginner I would put the "Revell Control RC Model 24043" helicopter to the heart. It reacts somewhat slower in the air and is very precise to fly. A perfect "entry-level and Fliegenlernheli"
Please keep in mind, this is my opinion and experience Rezesion, not necessarily by each)
Conclusion: In spite of the slightly higher price compared to other models, a strong buy recommendation!
