See specs below: -Ultra-stable coaxial, counter-rotating blade design that will have any first-time pilot hovering like a pro in no time. -Equipped with innovative and IFT-exclusive Collision Avoidance Technology (C.A.T.) to automatically avoid collisions with a variety of obstacles. -Larger than typical ultra-micro and micro class CX helis for improved visibility and performance when flying outdoors in winds up to 5-10mph. -Available in RTF (Ready-To-Fly) and RFR (Ready-For-Receiver) versions that both include a factory-installed C.A.T. module and ultrasonic sensors. -Digital servos and powerful 370 motors coupled to a 3S 11.1V LiPo battery deliver plenty of power and precise control for flying indoors and outdoors. -100% factory-assembled, test-flown and ready to fly right out of the box including the scale body finished in an eye-catching and highly visible trim scheme

Kinda closed in for a first flight. Maybe a quad next? Also an episode for rc safety ? I'm sure everyone has seen the news with the young man who had his head chopped off by the main blades of his 3d heli. Keep the videos coming.

Yes, needed to be closed in to test the CAT system. But understood, hard when there that age, they want to smother. We reviewed the incident with the kids, a learning experience no doubt. Thanks for watching.

Very valid point.its important to never forget these small machines are,and can be very dangerous resulting in injury and sadly on rare occasions,death.the young talent that died this week in New York died doing something that he loved.love won't protect you if something breaks or fails.model aircraft can be great fun but let's not forget it is a risk.just take a minute to think about if you would.everyone stay safe out there and most importantly,have fun :)
