Yeah. I've had a go with the one Marcus has.

As I say, the things Maplin sell look like cheap copies. Not really 
impressed. (Which is why I haven't bought one.)

This is the off topic newsgroup. You should post your renders to the
binary group.

  It's funny how some people complain about focal blur being too strong
in some renderings, even though it really happens in real photos...

  I suppose reality is unrealistic. ;)

I have this one:

http://www.walkera-helicopters.co.za/media/43B.jpg

After a long time I was able to hover and control it pretty well facing away 
from me, but getting your head around keeping it stable while facing towards 
you or left or right is too hard at the moment.

Maybe I should get one of those ones like yours with the opposite rotating 
rotors, I hear they are much easier to fly?
