I have had this for 24 hours, crashed it into the roof, a tree, my dog, my girlfriend and countless pieces of furniture! This thing is Durable! Thick plastic pivot blades, a thick plastic nose shell and a Aluminum skeleton.
It takes about 30min to charge from a completely dead battery with a proprietary charger and flies for about 10 minutes outdoors and 15 minutes indoors. It can fly it 1 - 2 mph wind outdoors but because it doesn't pitch a lot (maybe 5 degrees in both directions) you are really just chasing it as it goes in the direction of the wind.
The Gyro is not a joke it really really works, yawing the unit by hand you can feel the individual blades slow to compensate and stabilize. Outdoors it really shows how well it helps keep the unit level. The control has a trim knob to keep the unit from spinning while hovering.
The controller itself feels really cheap and the decals placed on it are off center to a point where it was inhibiting the trim knob and required me to remove it.
So the only 2 real complaints about this RC is the lack of Forward and Reverse maneuverability, and the quality of the controller. Otherwise well worth $40, maybe my dog and Girlfriend will stop hiding soon :)
