Ok first off, don't actually know anything about this. I've seen it in their stores for months, but I've always been spending a lot of money on tools and didn't want to drop even more. I saw one of the store sale flyers at work last week and remembered it again, $10 off regular price somebody might be interested, I dunno.

3channel RTF helicopter at Harbor Freight Tool and Salvage for $50 (instore sale for $39.99 until mid sept). Differentially powered contrarotating blades and the tail rotor changes pitch. 8AA batteries for TX and some kind of crappy rechargible in the heli? Clone of something better?

I got one about a year ago, I like it. It takes some practice to learn to fly, and I have nothing to compare it to so it may not be as good as other helis'. I dont know. The flight time advertised is accurate. It doesn't handle cross winds well but overall it's pretty good for the money.

Might be a clone of radio shack's micro mosquito. At least the coax blades and the tail setup is similar.

It might be based after it, but it's bigger than the Micro Mosquito, it's actually a little bigger than the RS Spinblade.

How about a review on them?
