    This was a great toy for my boys 19 and 23 for Christmas Eve! They were able to fly successfully very quickly, hover, etc. They appear to be almost indestructible - which is great given their inexpensive price point and daredevil pilots!

    I first bought this for my son but after playing with it I think it’ll go to my collection instead. It’s pretty simple and easy to use if you’re familiar with similar toys. It feels robust and well finished.

    I bought this for my brother-in-law for Christmas. He and I both had been talking about how cool toys aren’t something we receive anymore as gifts. He was happy when opening it and has had a lot of fun with it since then. Pretty basic compared to many you can find out there, but considering the price it is fun to mess around with.

    If you take care of this and understand its charging nuances, this is a fun little thing. It's inexpensive so just appreciate it for the fun to value ratio, which is good. If you want a fancy RC thing, this is not it though.

    I’m not too pleased with my purchase unfortunately. It doesn’t stay up off the ground very long. The battery life is not that long either.

    Easier to fly than cheap quads

    We purchased a small quad drone previously. It was extremely difficult to control. This not being a quad was preferred. This one is much easier to fly. It can only be flown indoors and it inexplicably is charged using batteries in the remote. That is pretty annoying thus the 4 stars.

    This is a pretty good quality remote helicopter. It has bounced off walls and the floor a few times and still keeps going. I do wish the battery lasted longer though.

    Bought for my kid as their first drone. We loved it except that this uses infra red between controller and the helicopter, so you lose control when out of sight

    Easy to fly but definitely not as high quality as ones I had when I was a kid. My son appears to like it though. So that is a plus. For the price you really can’t go wrong.

    Overall it’s good. Very easy to use once you used to it. The demerit is that it works only for 5 minutes after a full charge and for charging it takes a long.

    Fun little helicopter to fly to kill a few minutes. The battery doesn’t last too long but for the price it’s a good buy. Great white elephant gift for sure.

    I bought this for an Angel Tree gift during the holidays. it was for a young boy. The colors were cool and it was not too big, or too small. Hope he is getting a lot of fun out of it.

    This odd a relatively inexpensive RC helicopter. It’s more difficult to fly than you think but still not super hard. This is my second one. As the price dictates, it’s not screaming quality and my first one stopped charging after about 10-14 days. Best Buy did replace and the new one not no longer flashes alternating lights when charging but, it’s still taking a charge - for now.

    There is one thing I do not like that to charge the helicopter you have to plug into the remote controller and get electricity from AAA batteries instead of plug into a adapter.
