Specs:
3.5 CH (.5 FOR THE GYROSCOPE, that is what the salesman at IHC told me)

What is a .5 channel?

The .5 Channel seems to be a marketing gimmick. There are various interpretations, mostly conjecture. It could either refer to the inbuilt Gyro for stability or the fact that the lights on the Heli can be switched on and off from the Tx. Take your pick! :giggle:

True Vc bhaiya, there seems to be no clear interpretation of the .5 thing, but Mr. Rishi Kumar at IHC told my cousin that the .5 thing is for the gyro, which was exactly the same thing told by Palash(I am not sure if u know him) last month when he was selling the same heli to a different customer. BTW, there are no switches in this particular radio for the on/off feature as mentioned by you.

Hey rohit, could you share some info about how she flies, flight times, charge times etc? I see quite a lot of LED's on it :)

I have mentioned it in the video. Anhow i mention it once again,
The price of the whole package is Rs 2500.
The flight time is about 10 mins, i have to say it increased dramatically after the first 2 flights in which the flight times were close to 4mins and 6mins.
The charge time is about 90 mins.
And the flight characteristics are really good. It is very stable in the air, actually it can hover itself without any radio inputs(just the throttle input). I cant get into the details because i am a begineer, but i have to mention that this is the first heli i have ever flown in my life, excluding the simulator hours, and my first impression is that it flies great.

Pretty good flying for a beginner. Well done! Yes Rishi and I were quite close once upon a time. Palash and I have spoken many times over the phone though I've never met him. Give them my best regards when you meet them next.
