it was my birthday last week and this is one of my gifts I got from my uncle. Its pretty damn cool, and very fun to fly! Handles really nice (A paperclip on the nose really makes it steer well). It flies for about 10 minutes and take 30 mins to charge. anyway, thought Id share some pics.

I'm amazed to see you haven't knocked everything off of the coffee table and the X-Mass tree still has ornaments on it. 
Your one step ahead of me.
BTW, Nice Pineapple.

oh I had it wrapped up in the Christmas tree a few times that night..lol.. I also was flying it around when people were opening presents (Being annoying..lol) and bumped the ceiling, and when it does that, it just slammed down. Well luckily I was right above the chair (I'm sitting in, in the pic) where my dad was sitting and it landed in his lap..lol.. Scared him a bit but everything was ok.
Looks like a good time to me. I've already decided my Spring addition to my RC lineup is going to be an E-Flite Blade CP to buzz around the yard with. I don't know what it is, but these damn things fascinate me.

Candyman, definitely get the CP model. It is the best. If you are not sure of where to get one at a good price, I know that my fav LHS, Rob's R/C Hobbies, has them at the lowest price around my parts.
4u2nv, I keep imagining the helicopter landing on the head of grandpa and then taking off gain with a toupe accidently stuck to the skids!

I was flying the CP yesterday at HobbyTown. Its a nice unit but meant for out doors or a gymnasium. Not recommended for living room rescue missions.

Yeah I think so. My uncle is a HUGE radio shack junkie, so thatd be my guess where he got it.
Revo, I've taken off from heads, but noone has the nads to let me try to land it on them..lol..
Things a blast though! And VERY easy to control. Thats why I like it.

What kind of manuevers can it do?

what can IT do, or what can I do?? lol.. It has the main 4 blades and a single 3 blade in the rear. So far I'm just happy to get it the direction I wanted, so I'm not to sure how crazy a person can get with it yet. Again it handles alot better now with a paper clip on the front. Seemed to light on the front end, so now when ya turn the nose is tilted down, so it steers better. Hovering is the funnest I think. I like to hover just inches above a persons head..lol..

Whatup? Having a run of a**holes aren't we?
Pretty nice copter Andy. I was looking at the Rotofly pretty hard a while back. Be cool to be able to fly something off the back deck. Can't really afford one right now. But when I do I'll be asking you guys about one.
Looks like you are having a lot of fun. Enjoy it.

Yeah it comes with everything it needs to fly. You will need to get a 9v for in the controller and 6 C cell batteries for the recharging station. The only flaw that I have about it is when rechargeing the male and female ends dont like to stay attached. (Maybe its just mine) so ya have to play with it for a bit. Other than that I really like it. its kinda a bugger to steer, but a paperclip on the front really seemed to help. Again I really like it, and think its well worth the $$.

Perfect for the 1st timer. I had a Kyosho Nitro one and it scared the hell out of me, so I sold it. Didnt really think about getting a copter until I got more fly time with my planes, then I got this, and its a blast!
