    I got this r/c helicopter as a Christmas present and it is superb! Incredibly stable and reasonably easy to fly. (It's a Syma S107 incase anybody is wondering!)

    Here it is in action:-

    My mate had one going on Christmas day, I know you should alway be greatful for gifts recieved but he got me a Stylophone and a I-phone cradle that sticks to your window (I had just told him I had got Mikes screwless one a few hours before).

    I'll never use them in fact I have a Maplins RC plane, Heated Hat (Yes that is as bad as it sounds) as well as these never been opened from last year!

    So I was sat there thinking Why the hell did you not buy me one of these when your standing there raving about it........its a class wee toy!I did find myself in Silverburn in that Model shop with that exact one in my hand on Boxing day but the phone went and there was a que so I put it back…..

    The fun landing it on the Quality street Tin.

    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!

    Yeah, landings are fun! It's so controllable, what a difference to previous models that you couldn't even hover in one spot with nevermind land gently. It charges in about 40 minutes from the controller or via USB too.

    I can't see the pics Del, but I got one too paid £75 for it and it broke in the 1st test flight, so it will be going back for my money back. Lot of fun for the 5 minutes it lasted.

    Bummer Greig. I can send you the link to where I bought this one (much cheaper!). Would be great flying around your mansion!

    Pics are there, not sure why you can't see them. They're on FB too though.

    Sometimes funny out here some pics you can see others appear as red X's. As far as the copter goes this was an out door one but due to weather was trying it inside. As you say there was plenty of room. Just came in for a routine flyby and landing and it all went wrong, the tail rotor caught the edge of the frame and it was goodnight vienna.

    Hopefully get my money back, and it's being spent on the steering wheel from Burple.

    I got an outdoor electric copter last year but it is a nightmare to fly - 6 channels or whatnot . Kept smashing up the rotors so was buying new ones all the time. Plus, if there was any kind of breeze at all it was ten times worse!

    This one is ace - lots of fun flying it around the living room and landing on stuff .

    (Nice PS3 wheel btw )
