I have the exact same one, its a blast. Did you get it trimmed well enough to be very precise?

Well, it's trimmed not too bad, and hovers ok, but it has a definite tendancy to rotate anti-clockwise. When you use the left control it rotates anticlockwise nicely, but the right control induces some reverse motion, so it's difficult to accurately control. Still it's good fun doing left hand circuits, and the other controls can help to move it out of tight spots.

You can't really control it with any degree of certainty, more steer it in ever decreasing circles Cheesy
