Quite lovely!

The Cobra is my dream machine at the moment.
As an owner, how well do you recommend it? Bearing in mind I'm only at the indoor coax flying stage...
Any hints/tips you could pass on would be appreciated :)

Well, the cobra is one of my best scale heli i have, it really gives you the image of the real cobra while flying...i had another one but i lost in its first test flight because of the flexible shaft, it got cut off. Thats why i moved to hirobo product, the tail drive system is shaft in this case, no worries about my previous problem. Since you are at the indoor flying stage, i would recommend to move to the outdoor stage, to me indoor is much more difficult than the outdoor flying specially if you are in the electric phase and you want to join the nitro phase. In my opinion, flying big bird is easier than flying small one, so dont worry, im sure that you will do fine and if you want to get a big bird, go for the army scheme one, it gives to me more realistic appearance than the civilian one specially when you take care about the details of the fuselage.

lovely - thanks for that

I'm a big Battlefield 2 fan on the PC, so I'd be tempted to paint it in the grey colours of the AH-1Z, which I love to pilot in the game :)
