    Thank you all for the ratings. As said, definitely not the first helicopter, I alone have several others, But the forward thrust and double blades to make this quite stable.

    Actually flies pretty good, but has a strange bug where the right rear stabilizator is actually like distach of the helicopter, but continue to answer to command. Anyway, it's a great helico.
