Hi Alan,

Well, fully controlable.. Ok, sort of !  :wink:

You can go up and down, and turn left right.
The forward movement depend of the amount of weight you put on the noze !
No weight, the helicopter stays still (ok, almost...) a bit of wight on the noze, and it move forward.

But those little helicopters are realy great fun !  :D  :D

Note the CNC machine cutting some Dopperlraab parts for Joe on the background !  :D  :D  :D
