My parents bought me something not dissimilar from this for Christmas. The
slightly scary thing is that on the one I have, you get only two controls -
throttle for the main rotor (i.e. up/down) and speed for the tail rotor
(left/right yaw) - and thus there's no direct fore/aft control.
Instead, forward/backward has to be induced by the secondary effects of the
controls. Thus, application of a slight right yaw induces slight forward
motion (or gradually arrests backward flight), and the opposite applies when
left yaw is applied. Takes some getting used to, but I'm gradually managing
to make the crashes look more and more like landings. Fortunately it's a
robust little beastie, and I've not broken it yet.

Go on, you know it makes sense.
