When I say mini me I mean mini me. It functions the same as the big one even as small it is. Just costs much less. Less than $40.00. I can fly this one in the house easy and will be for crappy days out side when I want to fly and can't use the big one. Plus it will get me back used to flying and save on replacing tons parts on the big one. lol

Oh NO just when you think you have your mind made up, this comes into play.

A 4 channel, part availability very high, very highly rated by users. Radio controled not Infa Red controled (Yellow one is infa-red), so out side flight is ok on low to no wind. For only $10.00 more.



Quick little bird.

Radio controlled not Infa Red controlled...so which is best, in terms of control, control at distance, interference, etc? And do the others operate better with higher winds, since this one is low to no wind being good conditions?

Infa-red you can't fly in the sun but you can inside and shady area's.

So if you plan on flying out side radio control is the best or only choice.


I pulled the triger tonight and ordered the 9958 ( Black and yellow one with video I posted last. ) tonight. Should have it the first full week of Aug.

Heres my bird. I have a few vids on facebook. Can't post them here. Its a Face Book thing.

Mac and Dakota fell in love with flying my bird so now we have a pack of them.

Dakota now has the Black and yellow, Mac has the purple, I now have the red and white.

I was at a gun show yesterday and a booth had several of these. The smallest was only about $35. I almost bought one.

If you never flew I would start with a 2 or 3 channel first. The 4 channel fly like a read bird. The 6 that can go upside down and such, how many times have you seen a read heli fly upside down. lol But if you like that sort of thing then ya start with a 2 or 3 and after you can control it very well move up to a additional channel.

They are a blast and addicting. Don't need as much room as a plane but they are harder to fly than a plane.

If you plan on flying out side DON'T get "a Infra Red controled" as soon as sun light hits it you will crash. They are made for indoor only.

The micro heli's like I have I fly in my living room and out side even in low (5 mph or less) wind.

If your interested here are the best for the price, good parts avalability micro's for a beginer even though they are 4 channel.

Xieda 9958 ( We have these because of quick parts avalabitlity. )

V911 (I'm looking at getting one of these also.)

They both have a indoor and out door flying setting. Very durable and stable in the air.
