This is my first RC helicopter. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on it. I saw this helicopter demoed and it flew really well. I really like the size of the helicopter since it is fairly long. I am doing short hovers inside my house. It is really fun once you can hover and do some basic maneuvers. I need to try it outside where I have more room to fly. Charge time is 100 minutes. Fly time is 5 to 8 minutes. If fly time could increase, that would be great. None the less, this is addicting and challenging. Overall, the helicopter is well built.

Three channel coax heli's are great for very beginners but after a day they are very boring. With 3 channels, all you can do is take off, go up down and rotate. Duel rotors and flybar make this extremely stable with very little to no trim. There is no forward or backward flight. so you cant control direction. I would never recommend buying any 3 channel as they are waste of money, to have fun and control you really should have at least have a 4 channel Heli. But for what this is: a 3 channel it does exactly what its supposed to do....... nothing. So I have to give it 5 stars.

My husband & son both love this helicopter, it does not take long to charge and is ready to go in no time. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a small but fun helicopter.

I agree with most of the others except I believe I have some info that may also help if you already bought one. I also had drifting problems and outside even on a still day just the slight breeze will take this heli away. First attempt was in door on a hardwood floor (the kitchen) spun up real nice left the ground ok and only drifted a little so I took it to the living room for more space. I had huge issues dumping on take off drifting so I went outside to get it in the air and adjust the transmitter accordingly. I spent all my time trying to get it steady just to have a slight gust of wind take it from me. This thing does take a beating but I would recommend buying a new set of blades incl the tail, balance bar, and upgraded battery. I decided to buy a mini to train with thinking my skills were horrible. I noticed in reviews stating the smaller heli can not take off from fabric that it will drift and if it got in the air it would be unstable. I took this heli to the attic wood floors open space and it flew like a dream out side instead of taking off from the dirt or grass I took off from the sidewalk and it flew fine who knew they would be so picky it still drifts a little and would recommend not flying if even a leaf is moving but take off from a solid surface and you will be alright. One key thing is tighten up the tail and any other part that seems to be loose (except the blades of course) In my opinion I would not fly in door it is too big and out door it has to be perfect. It is nice looking and big but not very practical.

This thing is cool. I bought it for my two year old who love copters. While he can't control it yet, he loves to watch it take off and fly. When it lands, he goes and picks it up. The copter is sturdy and easy to control. My main gripe is that is lasts but a meager 5 minutes on a charge. It would be nice to be able to go for a little while longer. Otherwise, pretty perfect for an indoor rc item. <br/>6 <br/>I purchased this helicopter for my fiance for Christmas and he LOVES it! This helicopter in my opinion is very durable and worth every penny. It is advertised as an "indoor" helicopter but we have used it outside and if it isn't too windy, it works great. I read past reviews where people have said negative things about this product and I couldn't disagree with them more. We have slammed the helicopter into the wall many times, got it stuck and entagled in a palm tree (lol) and it still works like new. I would recommened this product to anyone and everyone, especially first timers.
