We don't have any, and I have an assistant but not with r/c flight experience. But you are right, my first crash in years with my heli was completely fatal.

I got it tonight - SMALL! its not a third of the size of the old one. Can't wait to play with it Thursday. Would play tomorrow but promised the kids I'd show them how to make a tennis ball cannon. Maybe they can shoot that and i can practice evading flak.

Yep, its a tiny little thing. Touchy too. You really have to stay on top of it but it is loads of fun. I wouldn't even put the aluminum weights on it, as you can adjust the forward speed with a twist of the tail mast.

Well it handles just like my dragonfly, and its fun to tease the dogs with but there is no blade pitch control so I can't figure out how to make it do anything but hover and slightly yaw left or right. I think I'm going to get a collective pitch r/c - looking at the Falcon 3D pro - it will roll and can even do inverted flight...but also 10x the Havoc's cost...

To make it go forward, hold the heli so the tail is facing you, then give the mast a clockwise twist. The idea is to make the tail rotor face ever so slighly downward instead of square to the right. When you give a little bit of right rudder, the prop tilts the heli forward a little and forward control is possible. A quick touch of left rudder stops it in its tracks.
