Hi folks, just started lurking here this afternoon!  Was referred over
by rec.models.rc.air

Got back from The Source (here in Canada) with a Radio Controlled
Helicopter called "The Mosquito"...  Uber-small, looks like fun.

I'm a throttle-jockey for a living, so I figured the chance to torment
the cats would be worth it.

So far I've had a few *slightly* successful test flights, but I'm
starting to wonder - Will this machine EVER be stable and flyable
enough to have full control over?  Will I eventually be able to say,
sit on my couch and takeoff from my coffee table, landing on my
entertainment center 10 feet away?

I guess I'm wondering if the machine is capable of precision, or is it
just something to tool around with until it breaks and I start
complaining about being out $90.

Let me know now while the package is still intact.  ;^)

Thanks all,
Craig

Is this thing dual main rotor system or is it a traditional heli with one
main rotor and a tail rotor?
The contra rotating system is much more stable.  micro helis take some
flying.  You do have to set them up very carefully even the dual systems.
Once setup they can practically hover hands free.  You really need an indoor
gym to set them up.  Once done you'll find they will then work in your
living room.  A traditional heli setup is much harder.
