No thanks! It took me a long time of trialing many sets in model shops and form friends to get a TX with sticks that feel really good to me and was within my budget, going from that to having no sticks and no feeling at all would be a huge retrograde leap.

Having 60-70m (ground) and 100-120m (air) range sucks big hairy donkey balls too, that's pretty much unusable for aeroplanes, and I claim BS on that even then, if it gets 60-70m, on land it's not going to get more than 40m over water, and I wonder if it would penetrate a roostertail at point blank range for surface drive boats.

This is a gimmick, plane and simple, with no redeeming features, even the traxxas i-drive has more going for it.

I ordered one. I figured it's meant to be use indoors, so my little ones can have some fun too.

I got the infrared adapter for one of my Syma RC helicopters and the app for my iPhone.
I thought it would be great! But I couldn't get used to the lack of tactile feedback, I couldn't tell where my dang fingers were on the control sticks! The simple 3CH heli was almost uncontrollable for me....
