Is this helicopter a begginers, an intermediate, or an elite, because I've become a good intermediate flyer, and I want an elite helicopter

I would say it's for intermediate/beginner. It's like the syma s108g except you can an go left/right as well. If you've already gotten good with a coaxial helicopter (the two bladed kind) you probably want to go for a 1 bladed one like the Blade 120 SR. If you want a super expert one, go for the Blade nano CP or some other collective pitch heli.

Intermediate to elite sorry for not getting back have been away for a few days. This should be ok for you. I got it as my first one and then bought a 3.5 then was able to master the 4.0. Good luck happy holidays.

I would consider this helicopter to be on the elite side, due to it's side flight with the Yaw capabilities.

This helicopter is not for beginnrrs, I would say it is more an intermediate level copter. It takes some skill to fly and manuever it. I would give it 4 stars as it is fun. Don't crash too much, it will take a few bumps, but just a few.

If you feel confident with your flying skills then seek out a single rotor helicopter. This unit is more indoor novice leveled and very forgiving

this is the best heli to start learning about single blades,b4 you move up to the 4 ch (which is the ones that go from side to side) learn from this to do all the basic b4 you get a v911 which will be your next step to learn 4ch, happy flying

I believe that anyone can fly this plane. I have been flying planes and helicopters for a few years now and this is one of the best planes I have bought for the price. Make sure you buy some extra batteries ( I bought a 4 pack of 180 mAH 3.7v) and I'm glad I did because I have even more fun flying. But back to the plane. You also need a controller that is compatible with the aircraft ( something like dsmx 2 technology) what's good about this plane is that if you break it you can buy basically any part required to fix it. It is pretty durable if you take care of it. Definitely a great buy and we'll worth the money... also it can fly in pretty gusty winds for how light weight it is. If you or someone you know is a beginner, tell them to get this plane

This little Habu is not the same as flying a helicopter. And it can reach a speed close to 50 mph! Your acquired skills in flying a helicopter will certainly be helpful, though. I'd go to the Horizon Hobbies site and pick out a trainer with an AS3X system which will self correct itself in many ways. Still, AS3X will NOT fly the plane, but helps to stabilize it when wind threatens to throw your aircraft around the sky. I believe they also have a plane or two with a 'SAFE' system which is supposed to help beginner flyers. Better yet, call Horizon Hobbies and they'll recommend the right plane for you. They're very helpful that way.

Best advice I can give is buy a flight simulator r helicopters to learn how to flight 6ch can be scary if u don't have the know how.

Not sure but suspect since you have some experience it should not be too difficult. These helicopters are very easy to fly.

I tell everyone NOT to buy this helicopter. This is not a quality r/c toy. The one I received I was never able to get trimmed (problems with turning like you mention). My advice is to return the device if still able and seek out a better quality replacement. You get what you pay for, i learned that the hard way on this heli.

I have never flown a quad although I want to. This one is fairly easy to learn and it's small enough to learn indoors where you can control the wind a little better. It's not like those cheap $50 airhogs with the dual blades so it is a little bit more responsive than one of those. It is actually very nimble and I find myself getting it into trouble with a wall or something easily but if you take it slow initially (at least for the beginner heli pilot like me) you can learn a lot and it's very fun. The only thing is that I try to keep a couple of skids on hand because I haven't gotten too much practice landing easily. The parts for it are very cheap though so that's a plus.

The simulator only has airplanes,jets,gliders and two helicopters.If flying a heli helps then....After reading prior answers,I would like to say I learned several stunts and polished my skills on it and I still use it every now and then.

Definitely not a beginner level heli. Collective pitch helicopters require a fair amount of skill to fly and this heli is big enough and powerful enough to cause expensive damage and even injuries when you crash it. A better choice would be a coaxial helicopter like the Blade MCX2 or a smaller single-rotor helicopter with fly bar like the 120 SR.

Yes it is, you can learn how to fly it but you should take a look to YouTube videos before trying to fly it.

For the price it is good and on the easier side to use. If it is your first one start with an indoor one first. They can be hard to handle outside and this helicopter is really small.

It will be a challenge. If you think you are a good 4 ch flyer and can step up to CP no problem, you are in for a treat. It is tough, and it feels like you are learning all over.That said, this is a good flying heli. And it is hard to find a less expensive rtf 450 size. The flybarless system and 6 channel makes it fairly stable.First thing to do if you get this one is turn down the elev/ail EXT pot on the receiver. There is no stick banging allowed like you can with a 4 ch.

Hi Cuda - we had real problems with this unit right out of the box, and we were beginnners. It immediately flew 'crazy', and we couldn't figure out how to trim it correctly, and within 2 days were too frustrated to continue. We looked at numerous youtube videos in trying to trouble-shoot, but never got the issues resolved so we sent it back. We then bought the Traxxas 6608 LaTrax Alias Quad-Rotor Ready-To-Fly Helicopter, and had zero problems with it. The learning curve is virtually the same as the 180QX so for a beginner I would recommend it. It's very durable and hard landings haven't been an issue (as long as it lands on grass). Hard landings on asphalt or concrete will damage it (as expected). Hope this helps...

That's going to be very hard. This brand of helicopter, was just a travesty from creation. I recommend you do what I did, just throw it away and purchase a better unit. Hope this piece of honesty works for you.

Tracy D., from what you described in you message, your helicopter is fine. It is necessary for the helicopter to fly properly.

Yes. However if you do not have experience with RC helicopters this is not really a "first time" choice since the main rotor moves in all directions so it's not easy to control. Easier models only have forward and back with the main rotor, and you rotate the direction the heli is pointed in and then go forward or back. You should gain some experience with those first. With this one if you move too quickly with any right or left on it will easily flip and crash and it's also harder to trim. That said if you are already familiar with flying these things, it's a nice model and I"ve crashed mine a bunch of times with no damage. Yes.
