It was instrumental in my buying decision. I purchased 3 of the Intelli UFOs for my kids(and myself) to play with. The products function as advertised, however they do seem quite fragile and I question thier longevity. But I have logged over an hour of flight time(approx. 10 flights) on one of them so far and its still functioning perfectly. The proportional throttle tends to be a bit touchy, especially when the UFO is fully charged. It does become increasingly easier to control as the lipo battery discharges. I'd like to propose that the single-channel simplicity is a decent "throttle-finger trainer" for those who may move on to larger r/c helis in the future. Excellent review!
