flies like honey (4 min 44 sec)

i've updated my innovator with the reinforced fiber plastic fuselage. this image was taken with the hipstamatic camera application for the iphone.

this is the first non simulated helicopter i've ever flown. i know that is not the norm but two years playing/practicing on real flight 3.5 along with the stability of the innovator md530, i was able to make it happen. i think whatever you fly should be fun and enjoyable for you no matter what brand, size, or type. right now, at my level of experience, it happens to be the innovator. shown here with custom, more accurate scale tail made from good old balsa wood, wood glue, and spray paint. same weight as stock plastic tail.
