Can't comment on the Esky in particular but that size of helicopter
struggles outside unless the conditions are totally calm and still.

Cheers,

I just ordered one. You do get what you pay for, but the HB2 is still
good value for money. Reading that thread, on the whole people seem
happy with their purchase

Hmmm... thats interesting. Per their ebay description for this
offering, (listed in several places), it states: "6 channel 72 MHz OR
35MHz transmitter"

False advertising?

I don't seem to be able to find out if they ever had any 35mhz as they seem
to speak and type English as their 3rd language and with a first name of
Peng sounds a bit oriental to me I just will have to keep looking, 72mhz are
two a penny even from UK sellers

Yep... just for grins I sent the seller a question via eBay. Said I
wanted verification that if I used the buy it now feature that they had
the 35mhz in stock and would ship a 35mhz. I got a response "Sorry we
have no 35mhz to ship."

I'd be pissed if I found this out "after" I placed my offer.

They also write "A 7 cell 600 mAh Nimh flight battery" and later on "11.1V
1000 MAH Li-ion Batterys Fly time upto 20 min"

what are they actually delivering?
