Ooo.. looks great until you see the second (top) rotor. Still.. very impressive all the same. Looks nice and stable which I guess is why it's advertised as an ideal first time model.
Now.. how much fun could I have with one of those

How easy is it to fly one of these RC helicopters?

Yes.. that would be a nice repaint John
I'd like to have one to fly around the pub (on the inside) to annoy customers.. not all customers, just those that deserved it. Thinking about it, I'd need a 'flight' rather than a single a/c
Jimm..
The single blade models are (or can be) more difficult to fly than the real thing.. by that I mean the ones with one main rotor and a single rear rotor. The ones shown in the vids are a lot easier to control

I might have to find me one of these helicopters and see what they are like to fly.

It should be much cheaper than the more expensive RC helicopters.

No so likely to get caught in a wind gust and smashed....all in all a fairly gentle operation
Especailly for training

The Chinook is about £40 and the Seaking is around £120. With the Chinook being massively easy to fly and a lot more robust, so what's the advantage of the Seaking then? It looks a lot more scale and because there's more to learn ultimately more rewarding (oh and it has a working winch!)
