this was way to hard to control and ended up being a present that upset my son as it broke within 15min of use.

Purchased second helicopter after the first one broke the first time it landed. This time made sure we few it on good day and in good soft landing grass. It flew twice then broke in the same place. This product has a weakness. The tail braeks away from the body. I found the website for spare parts and parts availabilty are good and relatively cheap. Unfortunately this product's manufacturer chooses to glue the helicopter together were it should come apart. So, spare parts are not an option for this product! We found out later the same thing happened to two of my sons friends. Hope this helps you decide!

I'm so upset about this product. It was flying fine for about 2 minutes then just fell to the ground and crashed. 1st use. We have taken to model shops trying to get parts but no luck. I would no recommend buying this at all. You will just be chucking your money away. There is nothing worse than buying a christmas present that breaks.

Is not really a remote CONTROL helicopter, as it only has controls for up/down and spin around. There is no control to make it go forwards or backwards.
The power control is low/med/high, so it either jumps off the ground too fast, or crashes into the ground too fast. You can make it spin left/right
If you want a helicopter, thats cheap and works, I'd look elsewhere.

this is the worst rc I ever know, impossible to control. Test it for 10 mins, end up in the bin, what a waste of $20.

Even if you get a totally windless day, the copter only goes up and down, no sideways action. A great way to get fit as you're always running to pick it up! Battery doesn't last very well. I was organised one year and bought this for my son 6 mths before x-mas only to have warranty null and void because of time lapse. Frustrating.

Awesome helicopter, I flew it at an open park & I found it to be a very good remote controlled helicopter, it has a fairly good range on the remote and the rechargeable battery last for about 20 minutes of flight time, if you purchase a rapid charger from somewhere to charge the batteries a little quicker, your on a real winner & for this price you cant go wrong.

The chopper does not fly over 1 metre high and can not be controled at all. It rotates anticlockwise all the time and pontiometer screw does not help. There is a flat point when using the right control knob when trying to move to the left (The chopper's motor just stops running and the chopper falls).
