Fla,

I just got mine! The USPS tracking system is slow to update. Mine still says it is in Bethpage too, but it is actually in my hand. You might take a day longer being in Florida, but I do not really know the USPS typical shipping times.

Now two of my kids are getting one, and my bro-in-law is set. Eddie, next shipment I am gonna have to get one for myself!

We sent it usps priority to make sure you get it on time.  USPS tracking is worthless this time of year.

air hogs dont even come close to even thinking about being in the same stratusphere of easy flying and I mean ACTUALLY FLYING and not getting all pissed and shooting it down with a 12 guage .... hope that helps

There is no comparison between the 2, I have the original piccoz (same as the air hog).  You have full control of our little heli,  every direction.

this thing is so much fun.... i have a little problem but maybe its like that for everyone alse too i have the micro adjust wheel all the way up but it still spins to the right a little.. you can fix it by just holding the joystick to the left a little bit when flying... but it kinda sucks cuz your always trying to counter stear

You have to turn the heli and remote off, try to center the wheel as best as possible.  Put the remote on then the heli and you may have to adjust it slightly.  If you have it all the way in one direction then turn it on,  it cant reset itself.

NO NO NO, NEVER NEVER NEVER drain a lipo, you will most likely destroy it.  Once you see it start to have less power, stop, let it cool for a couple of minutes and charge it.

**edit**

You can fly up to 3 at a time, if you order 3 make sure you email us and let us know that you want use them together
