Wha do you think of it and I am a beginner so would this suit me, and is there no way to fly it during the day when there is light outside?

I realize it's cheap, and you're a beginner and don't want to pay for something you will crash, but you would be better off flying a paper airplane. I don't consider myself a beginner, but I'm definitely no pro. This thing is a piece of junk. If price is your concern, get an air hogs from Walmart. If you can spend a little extra, get a micro stick from hobby town or hobby-lobby.

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.

This was my 1st glider and I would say as long as you have a basic understanding of how to control it you should be fine. It's an extremely stable plane.

This plane is a good start if you are a beginner. You will not be able to fly this without some help from an experienced flyer. You will need a radio system an help to set up an trim the airplane.

I made great effort to undestand the entire user manual and all the led indicator signals prior to first flight.I performed all upgrades according to nazam software and watched a lot of utube instruction videos. After all was said and done, and to anwser your question, you could fly the copter as soon as you charge the battries. It is very easy to fly and to perfect your flying technique. I have bought two so far and will probably buy another one.. get a gopro too. It takes great aerial photos. I think amazon has great gopro pricing. Good luck and have fun. I cant recommend it enough. Being from boston, i have to say its pissa. That means real good.Lou I made great effort to undestand the entire user manual and all the led indicator signals prior to first flight.I performed all upgrades according to nazam software and watched a lot of utube instruction videos.

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.

Yes this is the perfect plane,for beginners.I loved it!see my videos on it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVzSCT_qlVU

I've never really flown it outside, the most I flew it in was in an underground garage with little wind. But I have had a few of these things ranging from the $19 to the $100 variety and this one was the easiest one I flew, it was really responsive and did what I wanted. Happy flying

Yes it can be flown indoors and that is what I'd recommend at first so you don't have to deal with wind. Even slight breezes are annoying at first. Like a coaxial? Not exactly. The MSR is a step up from a coaxial in complexity but also in fun. The price you pay is in stability. If you just want to have fun, a quad is your best choice after moving up from a coaxial. If you want to learn to fly a RC helicopter, then the MSR is a good step in the right direction. I wanted to learn to fly a collective pitch heli so I worked my way up from a coax, then the MSR, MSRx, then MCPx. Each are more difficult to fly, but more rewarding and are progressions to flying collective pitch. I got my first quad after flying the MCPx for a while and it's a blast. I still fly the MCPx though depending on what type of entertainment I'm looking for that day. If you want indoor/outdoor fun with the stability of a coax, and you are looking at the Blade line of helis, I would recommend the Nano QX.

It is supposed to be able to fly outside, but when I tried, it did not have enough forward thrust to overcome a very light wind. I also had flight stability issues flying indoors and it's really too big to fly indoors unless you have a big space.

Yes i would. This plane can be flown outside on a calm day.And is also a great plane to fly in a gymnasium.

outdoors...but to be honest...don't buy it...I ordered one, it was defective...would fly a few seconds, then drop like a rock...I returned, ordered another, same thing...I googled it, and seems to be a manufactor's flaw...i returned it and ordered a different copter...buy at your own risk! I hate that it was defective, because the copter really does look awesome, and you might get a good one...it's up to you!

easy to fly, yes. Worth the money, maybe. I suggest you go with the Syma 107 helicopter first. It's $5 cheaper, little longer flight time, and slightly easier to handle.

Just like any of these micro helicoptors, slight breeze is going to ruin the precise control. But outdoors flying will provide a different kind of experience. I believe that the most fun would come from flying this thing outside in a windless calm day.

I am a novice, but I do recommend this heli, very easy to fly. I did go out on utube and made some changes they recommended to the tail rotor, better battery, lighter balance bar. I reversed the rotors to give more clearance but stripped out the screws and had problems after that. Very durable and fun to fly.
