Yep, training gear too. I have Phoenix, works great with my controller. My second attempt at hovering the real deal resulted in about $100 in repairs. Built some training gear and I haven't broke anything in 20 or so battery packs. I spend alot of time in the simulator too. It's getting easier, just taking me a long time to get it down.
I hear the bigger helicopters are eaiser to fly, but when they crash, it gets real expensive, real fast.
