Downloaded some videos and those things look amazing, would love to get one, i bet they're amazingly hard to fly though. :)

I have been flying a Sean Kinkead Slow Hawk since spring. I flew it at the SMALL STEPS event in Little Rock Arkansas this year. The NImh pack supplied does not let the bird reach its full potential. A two cell Lipo 1800 mah pack gives it both the performance and duration to make it perform. This particular bird is not hard to fly if you set it up per their instructions. However all they do is climb,turn right or left, and flap along in a cruise mode. Like hovering, it is something different to see for a while and then it is boring. Also the reaction to transmitter inputs makes it seem more like control suggestions rather than actual control. If alternative forms of flight are your interest then this is something to try.
