I've got one, havent yet flown it or driven it on water.

Shot around the bit of grass behind my house - garden is too small

It goes well, definately worth getting!

I got mine on ebay

Is that the Chinese copy or the genuine article? If it's the Chinese copy what's the build quality like?

It's the copy i'm sure - build quality is quite cheap... but for the price ~£100, I looked at it as being replaceable... I can't see anything that flies and probably nose dives in water lasting forever
