Contra rotating rotors should make it reasonably stable (for a small heli).... but because it is just relying on the RPMs of the rotors to control it, the response might be a tad slow..

but at that price, might be worth playing with... depends what you expect to get out of it..

Just make sure whichever heli you buy that you can be 100% sure you can get spare parts... you WILL crash it and you will break it....

I got the same one for 20euros in Germany, that seems a lot for what it is.

My mate just bought one of these which looks very similar and alot cheaper. It's great fun and very stable probably not much good out doors though.

Not a bad price for its size, the ones the other guys have shown are tiddlers and arent really for outdoor flying.
Ive got a little Syma S107g I use for indoor and a Esky big llama for outdoors.
Cheers,

Price is wayy TOO high for that.
Oddly it has an LCD screen on the Radio erm ..What for??

Co-Ax helis are Kiddie or chartitably Novelty toys. Easy-ish to fly ...but really squirrely 'outdoors' though.
