    Nah. It’s just a Blade CX2 from eflite: http://www.e-fliterc.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLH1250

    I’ve advanced way beyond this helicopter now, and actually have a Blade 400 now: http://www.e-fliterc.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLH1400

    The Blade 400 is fully aerobatic (it’s blades are over 2 feet long), and it has to be flown outdoors. It’s a lot more fun, though. I’ll have to take it out and shoot some video here soon.
