they take a while to get used to flying and to trim the blades seems a pain in the ass from what i've seen of the lads ones at work and they've spent shit loads on theirs... can't go wrong for a tenner but i wouldn't expect much...

Haha, wasnt even my helicopter either.

I think if you had taken it any higher we would have had to radio Manchester air traffic control for clearance!
