Just two decades ago, RC helicopters were almost unattainable due to their high cost and almost unflyable due to their inherent instability. But that all changed about 15 years ago.
The E-flite Blade CX was introduced in late 2005 as an easier-to-fly alternative to E-flite's Blade CP, also introduced in 2005. The CX is an entry level, ready-to-fly electric micro RC helicopter designed and distributed by E-flite, a division of Horizon Hobby of Champaign, Illinois, USA:

The Picoo Z, a tiny 10-gram 2-channel electric helicopter from Silverlit Toys, was released in the summer of 2006, and was an instant hit. This little heli was also sold under the brand name of Air Hogs Havoc Heli in North America:

My RC helicopter adventure started with the Air Hogs Reflex 3-channel helicopter back in 2007, which also sparked and fueled the whole electric RC aircraft obsession with me. This little electric RC heli was a present from my younger cousin Asena (whom I refer to as my little brother), so you can say that he is the cause of all this craziness today! I had so much fun with this little heli that I ended up getting a used E-flite Blade CX2 later, and the rest is history...
Last weekend, I performed the outdoor flight test of my brand-new WLtoys V912 4-channel helicopter on a windy day. It was not a wise decision, and I ended up crashing the V912 and breaking its flybar:

To punish myself for my bad decision, I decided to put myself in the “doghouse” and to downgrade myself to toy-grade helicopters for a while. I am hoping that this punishment will put my overconfidence to rest and give me a chance to brush up on my basic skills with RC helicopters.
In the last video, I reviewed a very simple 2-channel toy-grade RC helicopter from Happy Cow Toys, a 777-575 Eidolon with an infrared controller:

In this video, I am reviewing another 2-channel helicopter, a Hornet from the World Tech Toys that I had purchased from Target for $13.67 including tax:

Does this one perform better than the last one? You have to watch this review to find out!
