Best Review on Helicopter Supported Bearing Equipped Excellent Balancing

I just received the H911 last week, quick delivery, packaged well for shipment. After unboxing and thoroughly reading the instruction manual I charged up the batteries and started to play. The only minor problem when getting ready to fly is the way the manual describes how to "bind" the rc transmitter to the helicopter. It reads like your supposed to put the charged battery into the heli, the receiver light on the circuit board flashes rapidly, then blinks slowly and the manual then tells you to turn on the transmitter which will beep three or four times and bind or connect with the heli. I did this several times and it didn't work. I googled a video that I saw online posted that showed a guy getting his ready to fly and he put the battery in and while the light blinked rapidly he turned his transmitter on right away and when the controller stopped beeping the heli light turned to a solid glow, no blinking and he could fly. I tried this and it worked the first time. I checked the control surfaces, the rotor toggles up and down like it should, goosed the power to make sure the rotor turned and then gave it about half power....it came up, I freaked and cut power and it dropped like a rock. No problem. Turned it upright and throttled up again and had very little to do to trim it out and be able to come to a hover. Let me tell you, talk about feeling like a kid again this thing is a blast. I read some comments about getting a used product, it could happen I suppose but not my experience. And there is no question about the durability of the H911. For the short time I've had this the first couple of times I flew it in the living room. On a couple of those flights when getting to know the flight characteristics I throttled up too fast and came up to the eight foot height of the ceiling, and as a new pilot would do and from watching numerous videos online before purchase, I did what everyone said, I cut throttle and it drops slowly af first, the blades are turning a bit but comes down the rest of the way fast. This is something I don't recommend doing often but it hit on the skids and didn't break a thing. Picked it up and examined it, not a crack or break, probably a little lucky on my part. I've had it up doing slow circles in the living room and drifted one way or the other and into a sofa (soft) and a wall (obviously hard) several times and doing what I saw so often in video's, cutting throttle, it falls, you set it upright and take off again. I've since resorted to pulling the cars out of the garage and flying around in there, more room to practice and have fun in. Nice flight characteristics, once you have it trimmed unless you are out of control coming in you can level off with throttle and drop slowly in place on the skids, a real kick for just 15 to 20 flights so far. You can really tell when the battery is low, at full throttle it will only hold hover and power a couple of feet in the air and will not go any higher, time to land. A battery lasts about five and a half minutes so far and they charge in about thirty minutes. I'm already thinking about ordering the five battery pack on Amazon. That way you could charge and rotate the batts. to keep flying for quite a long time. I decided to get the H911 instead of the Syma S107G. The S107 probably would be easier to fly right away but this challenges you more. Also being able to change batteries and keep flying attracted me to this bird besides the reviews of it's reliability. Get one and have some fun.
Edit: Just a little update. Ordered the five pack of 200Mah batteries to fly longer and rotate/charge batteries in the process. Working out great. The new batteries seem to give you almost a good ten minutes of flight with better throttle response. This being my first chopper experience bypassing the twin rotor 3 channel type of copter I continue to learn something new every flight. A soft touch on the sticks is definitely better than ham fisting it if your losing control or getting close to something. The durability of the H911 continues to amaze me. Got too close to a lamp and drifted into the pole sending the 911 from about two feet up crashing to the hard wood floor. Didn't notice it but the tail rotor popped off, when I tried to take off after the crash the chopper just spun around on the floor. Checked it out, found the rotor and pushed it back on and took off again with out a hitch. Can't wait until it warms up a bit to pull the cars out and fly in the garage again. With the speed of this thing you need the room to anticipate direction changes until you get better at it.
