ok i just got this chopper, tried to follow the horrifically bad english translation instructions..... The darn thing keeps rotating to the left, will not hover in one spot and is impossible to fly in a straight line as you are constantly turning. The manual says"turn the left-right rotation balancing valve clockwise" but the area it points to on the remote is a set of buttons "l" "r" st.trim. how do i tune this thing to make it flyable

@PhishyBongwater Give us a call at 1-800-GEEKSTUFF. We may have to set you up with a replacement. Those trim-buttons should take care of your problem. If they don't, you may get a new one.

What's the song?

[thinkgeek]

@IntellDevice The band is called Speedsound.

[lavideomania]

Awesome. Does it broadcast just that one song while in flight, or do I get the whole club mix?

mom always said not to play with the gryo-stabilized USB controlled helicopter in the house...

@thinkgeek Bought mine, flew it maybe 10 times. Now when I charge it the charge only allows it to fly for maybe 30 seconds. It used to go for maybe 3 to 4 minutes. What can I do about this?

[Hater999999999]

I got the ThinkGeek Mighty Atom... love it, love it... would love to get this one... but you guys took it off the site. I think I missed your Christmas sale or something too... you had 2 for 60 bucks! Dang it!

[AGeekForever]

@PooPoo2U Its not USB controlled. I wouldn't want it to be. You'd have like 2ft of flight room. How about wifi controlled for the same price. haha

[sabinecool]

I have it for over 6 months and didn't break but the battery however doesn't last that long.

Overall, it's a good buy, very stable and fun to fly.

[puppett11]

This is pure shit.

I bought it. Flied it.

Didnt hit ANYTHING and one of the rotors flew off!

Dont buy this unless you wipe your ass with money!

[Shiroblack]

60$??????

don't kidding to me, i can get an big size heli like an 9053 volitation with that price

-_-"

[humzawasi]

ahh whats the name of the song ? thanks

[bluepianoboy]

tee hee.. the guy in the video hasn't trimmed his copter

[keenster14]

This one. It's the only one with the stabilizing technology plus it has a metal frame which will take a lot more than just a plastic frame one, which the others are... I know that it's also the most expensive one but it wont break on you 2 days after you get it and if the shit hits the fan, a fiber will get caught in the propellers making it un-usuable and that is something that happens to all RC Helicopters unless you use it right. But be safe and go with this one, looks the coolest too.. ;)
