My rtf heli was shipped very quickly, arriving 2 days after order. This is my second M1 and it flies great. The Pocket was definitely a bit of a learning curve compared to my spectrum 7 channel, but I think I have it figured out now. Definitely a shortage of resources available to help with this specific to the M1, but you can dig into the internet and find what you need. Also, you will need the transmitter batteries unless you have flat 18650's on hand. Also, the charge adapter for the heli that's recommended was included in the kit, so I now have 2. Very happy with this overall and can't wait for some spring weather!
