summary:

Collective pitch flybarless micro RC helicopter with 3 axis gyro.
BL main motor and tail motor.
Precision DFC head.
2.4GHz system, Futaba S-FHSS compatible. You may fly this heli with your Spektrum or JR DSM2/DSMX/DMSS radio with a corresnponding remote receiver.

strengths:

Powerful, stable yet responsive. Easy to hover, easy to cruise around, easy to flip.
Tail holds well.

weaknesses:

The stock swash plate is a bit fragile.
The battery comes with JST-XH three pin connector. I assembled a charging cable for my charger.

upgrades:

I replaced the stock swash plate with the Microheli metal swash plate MH-TX15012. The stability and the cyclic response is slightly improved.

Microheli: MH-TX15012

I also replaced the stock canopy with the Lynx Ultralight Co-Polymer Canopy. I painted the canopy with yellow acrylic paint. The canopy gives good visibility and good cooling.
