My first heli! And I'm am very happy with it! I want to get in to heli world, but as you all know it is not easy or cheap! So I decided to start with this little bugger! After 6 batteries of use, and what is for me 3 flights (2 indoors and 1 outdoors), I can now say something about it! It's great!!!
I crashed a lot already! And it's still flying! No harm done! I had to do some small tuning on the controls since when it started lifting he couldn't hover, we would go always in front and sideways! Now with a small tweak on the remote it works more steady. Not perfect, but I'm learning as I go! Be careful with the outdoors flights! For two times I almost crashed in the swimming pool! Not nice! A small breeze is enough to take it far up than you wish! eh eh eh I recommend it! Great fun at an affordable price! Very good for starters since I'm learning the basics about 3D heli!

All this good bro. That's what I have to say about this product. At first I was crashing like a maniac all over the place. I actually thought my helicopter had a defect or something, it turns out I didn't know how to fly the thing in the first place. I can tell you this the by day two, I was flying like a pro, and the crashes this thing can take and took is really insane. It bounces back all the time, especially with the fact that there is two batteries that comes with it. Hobbyking keep this in stock I will be definitely purchasing another.

This is my first heli. I have raced rc cars for a few years so I'm not totally new to rc. The flybar design of this heli makes it really easy to fly though. All my flying so far has been indoors only in a space only 3 x 4m. I was able to hover stationery very quickly and can do simple circuits and T-transitions. working on figure-8's now!
It's been very durable but I have managed to break the main blades colliding with metal table legs. make sure you buy spare blades! And buy more batteries coz you don't want to spend too much time waiting for charge!

Me gusta mucho este helicoptero pero es un poco dificil de controlar ya que es demasiado nervioso y si lo vuelas en la calle con nada que sople el viento se vuelve incontrolable pero dentro de lo que cabe se puede volar bien muy contento teniendo en cuenta que es pequeo y tiene poca estabilidad.

This helicopter is totally worth it. I have flown it more than 20 times and I have crashed it almost every flight. It is really well made, fun to fly, doesn't handle wind but overall it is a great purchase for the price.
I suggest that you buy at least 4 more lipo batteries to get the best out of this FP100.

This is simply the best micro heli I have ever bought . Right out of the box it hovers with very little trim. Took it to our clubs' indoor flying day and in minutes I was doing things with this heli that I have never been able to do with other f/p heli. Best money I have spent on a heli. If you do buy one make sure to buy a few extra batteries not only will you need them to keep the fun flowing but this helis' battery is not the same as a flyzone batt or others like that. Great job bringing this one to us so cheap.
