While fun, they are now defunct. They are fixed pitch helis and, depending on which model you are looking at, have some goofy, yet neat, features like a mechanical gyro built into the tail.

EDIT:
I was asked via PM to clarify my post a bit. Here was my response:

Just that they are a very old design. Helicopters have come a long way since my balsa crutch framed Light Machines LMH-110. If you want low-tech simplicity then yes, a Light Machines might be for you.

Well.....I can say from my experience....I love Coronas. I have the LMH 120 Electric version. I fly in my yard and driveway....going to the park is fun with the Corona. The most rugged heli I have ever owned.

I bought a TREX 450SE and a Corona 120 at the same time about 3 months ago. I have flown my Corona 20x more than the TREX. The TREX is great machine but its so fragile and intimiadating compared to the Corona. For a newbie, the Corona is definately the way to go until you are ready for 3d. Its extremely durable and since its fixed pitch its simple to work on. I have crashed mine so many times learning the basics. It takes a likin and keeps on tickin.

There are still plenty of parts available and even updgrades. You can find a good used base model w/ TX for around $150. TOTALLY WORTH the purchase!
