I’m new to RC heli flying and this is a great entry product into the hobby. First of, this is not one of those $50 toys that you see on sale in department store. This thing takes skill and concentration to fly or you will crash real fast and might hurt yourself in the process. At least for me, I crashed 3X before I could get it to a low level controlled hover. The good news is that it cost me around $20 each time I crashed to fix it. Also, there are many youtube videos on this products and that’s how I learned to fix and set up. The instruction manual is not that great because it assumes that you have background in RC heli. RC heli is a complex hobby because there are so many variables to flying a heli well. I’m now just able to do a stable hover and have a long ways to go to fly 3D which is flying sideways, upside down, and any acrobatics. Another advantage of the heli is that it’s so popular that virtually any hobby store will carry spare parts for it which you will need because you will eventually crash. I did a long of research on which heli to buy as a beginner and this is the one by far the best choice.

This helicopter is very easy to assemble. Once charged, the helicopter almost flies itself and is able to take a few tough landings. The only negative is the AC charger is not included. Otherwise, a great buy.

I just got my 400 3d in today and I have to say it is a really nice heli! I’m still relatively new to RC helicopters so when I fired this puppy up my first reaction was “Yikes!” This thing is VERY powerful for a mini electric! But after easing the throttle up just enough to get it “hopping” I found that it is very stable for a 3d heli. I get it into a hover in just minutes with little correction. I would definatly suggest this one to an RC pilot who wants to step up from a Coaxial like the CX/CX2. It is EXTREEMLY responsive and NOT an indoor flyer! That being said I would only suggest it to someone who is REALLY good with the CX2 or has put alot of time on a sim (or both) And if you don’t already have one, GET A FLIGHT SIM! (I’ll be ordering mine from Hobbyzone today
All in all a very good heli and surprizingly stable. (much more stable than a CP/CP pro) And it can handle a little bit of wind. (no more “darn there’s a breeze! no flying for me”)
