So far I have crashed it every time I make it fly. it is still in one piece. IT is harder than it looks to make it fly steady, and the battery runs out pretty quick. But it is lots of fun, specially when you discover you can crash and it still works.

I bought this while on sale for $15 and I was not expecting a lot from it. Came to my surprise that this tiny machine brings so much fun. On my first few attempts it keeps on hitting the wall, ceiling, furnitures and almost anything that you can think of around the house, yet it is still working! Note that the entire house is carpeted and the ceiling is about 8 ft. tall so the impact of the fall is not as intense. The only con is the battery life of the helicopter which only last for 10-15 minutes of flying but it only takes around the same amount of time to recharge so not bad. Challenge yourself by trying to land it on any flat surface around the house that you can find. I have not used this outdoor though and I'm not planning to since I don't think it's going to handle the impact of the crash with higher altitude and a concrete ground. All in all, it's a great buy!

I bought this for my nephew and within 20 minutes, he broke it. Wing came off. It works good, just not very durable. Very fragile.

Bought this as a gift for a Secret Santa gift exchange. This was the talk of the event. Easy to fly once you figure the controls out. Good for indoor or outdoor flying. Recommend this for anyone looking to have some fun with a remote control helicopter.

Disappointed that they are so flimsy. Wings broke on both of them the same day. Had purchased another brand from another store and has lasted over a year with no breakage.

I bought this for my 14 year old nephew. He loved it and was flying it around within a few minutes of opening it. He was able to control it really well after about 15 minutes. The battery charge lasted for about 20 minutes.

This was an impulse buy for my nephew. Everyone who sees it is instantly impressed. It's just a sexy looking machine with the streamline body, matte silver and shiny ruby red colors. It's quite durable having seen it crash in to the wall a few times. No problems picking it up and flying it again. I've heard other people had problems - maybe I got a really good one? It's mostly an indoor toy as the moment a wind picks up your helicopter will get swept away with the breeze. I didn't time it, but I think he got about 5 to 7 minutes of play time with it. I think that's pretty good considering how much juice it must be sucking out of the batteries to keep it in the air. One last note - there's a steep learning curve. Don't expect to fly this like a pro out of the box. It's pretty hard to keep it stable and make it zip around the way you want. Still, the early crashing is pretty fun if my nephew's sequels are anything to go by.

I bout this helicopter for my 11 year old niece. In a matter of several hours of practicing in our kitchen, she was flying it like a pro. This is a great one to get someone started in flying helicopter.

I bought this as a gift for my little 6 year old cousin. It was simple enough to setup and we got it flying. It does a good job for a simple and easy first helicopter.
