Just had one delivered and got it straight into the air.
It's a real buzzer. Quite noisy but flies really nicely. The hover is amazing. Exactly the same as the Pro V2. Stays tight in the air and is very responsive. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if this is actually a V2 in a really pretty body. The body looks like it snaps on to the V2 tail boom. It certainly flies in a similar way.
It's got a bubble head and the engine is totally encased. Lovely looking little heli. Mine's white with orange and black trim.
Unlike the msr, the blades are fixed. That stops any blade lag and catch up on the other side. (Where the blades go round in a 'boomerang' shape) Flies really well and is great fun.
It's got a little search light on the front and the canopy lights up red when it's bound with the transmitter. It's also pretty fast but it really does hover like a coaxial which is pretty amazing for a single blade.
There are some strange things as well though. The batteries are not good. They don't last too long. Also, the heli has a tendency to shake on left aileron. Apparently, it's a common problem and sometimes this can be fixed by changing the gyro setting. Also, you have to be careful that the tail rotor doesn't touch the ground on take and landing. The heli is slightly back weighted
You adjust the gyro in the sub trim mode but I haven't been able to dial it out yet.

You bugger! I was hoping I'd beat you to that one! So it's good then? Shaun loves his one... Sam asked me to direct you to this new Nine Eagles transmitter: www.helicomicro.com/nuremberg-2011-nouveaute-nine-eagles-x6-pro-et-j6-pro/ will probably work with the V2 and Bravo! I think you may go through a few tail motors, they have a tendancy to burn out from time to time, but they are quite cheap and a piece of cake to install. You got a vid of it yet?

It's a dead easy fly, Mike. It's virtually coaxial in behaviour. On hover, it stays pretty well stuck in the air. Also quite fast and very responsive on turns.
Like the V2, it turns with no skid whatsoever. It'll turn in an instant. That's something you can't do with an msr. Yoiu have to go along with that one on turns and kind of slide round. This one turns at 90 degrees!!!
The worst thing about it is the 'shiver' that it does on left aileron and the poxy battery life.
It'll be interesting to see how you find it in comparison to the Solo Pro. I reckon it's the same heli in disguise.
I think the next one will have to be a CP though tbh. This one really is like flying a fast coaxial!!!

I have to say - battery life is crap. The Bravo sucks the life out of them. Can't lose its wobble either. I've tried the gyro but it shakes like a fat woman doing the roly poly. It's a funny little thing. Quite fast and aggressive turns dead easy.
Watch the tail rotor though. The heli can lean back on take off so the blade touches the ground.
