Fun, fabulous flying as I've come to expect from Syma. This larger 'outdoor' sized copter is impressive. Nicely modeled, pretty darn big, performs GREAT. Flies stable and well. Definitely NOT a good candidate for indoor flying like the minis, unless you have a very large space indeed (large great room with vaulted ceiling, gym, etc.)... I have flown it indoors in a large living room, and it's plenty controllable to do so - just not much fun as you're really just trying to avoid hitting the walls or ceiling in that small a space.
like all outdoor heli's I've experienced, this one tolerates virtually no wind at all. You need a really still day. But given that, it flies extremely well. Plenty of range, can easily go higher than I want to fly it, lots of power. It would easily blast away the first-fallen leaves off my trees.
It does have a much more noticeable "ground effect" than the minis (as do real helicopters). Within about a foot of the ground, the 'blowback' will A) affect your rate of ascent/descent and B) cause a bit of side-slip. Nothing abnormal our out of control... You just quickly learn to take off and land 'promptly' to get out of the ground-effects zone.
