It is a good helicopter for beginners and the controls mimics the controls of a real helicopter. It is a coaxial helicopter so when you let go of the controls (assuming it is in a perfect wind free wide area) the helicopter should hover in place.

From which you can pick 4 or 6 channels, there can e a big difference, the latter use variable pitch like the real deal to do inverted acrobatic flight. Training software would be a must before diving into a 6 channel, some of them have a mode select on the transmitter, allowing the 3D mode to be turned off while in the training wheel phase.

I have never looked back and its great for a beginner right through to full 3d flight. Plenty of spares avaliable yoo which is most important!
