Nice helicopter. Needs careful adjustments. Poor customer service. Bought one that lasted 5 battery charges and customer service said I was stuck with it. Took it back to Best Buy and they replaced it. New one has a faulty remote. Would not buy this brand again.

Watching my husband fly this helicopter is so much fun. It takes a lot of practice but after a few weeks he has finally gotten the hang of it. You really need a wide open space to maneuver properly though.

Easy to set up and fly, adjusting the trim can be a bit difficult for a beginner.

Not worth buying...

Not worth buying if you have prior heli/quad copter experience. This heli, according to the package states that it can bank left or right and side to side. In reality, it can not. All this heli can do is forward or reverse, up or down, and turn left or right.
For someone looking into getting into rc helicopters this will be a fine heli, but for an experienced heli/drone pilot, I don't recommended it. You would be disappointed.

This was a gift which was really appreciated. The distance of control was good and it has realistic maneuver capabilities. Only con is that it does not retain much of a charge. About 15 minutes per charge and charges with 115 outlet only.

Really great rc toy. It is a bit larger than most of the rc helicopters that I have seen, which I really liked. Very easy to control, has about 7 minutes of battery life. Makes a great gift.

Bought for my sons 5th birthday even though it says 14+ we couldn't get it to fly at first but somehow my son got it to work and can control it as long as there isn't even a slight breeze otherwise it goes off course. The battery life is only 8 minutes between 60 minutes of charging.

I found it quite hard to trim to be stable. The slightest breeze or twitch of the controls would send it off and out of control.
I periodically go back to the field where I last flew it to see if I can find where it came down. I lost control of it when it got a bit far away to respond to the controls. I heard it crash near a row of trees, but I haven't been able to find it. There should be a way to push a button to have it send out a beep so you can locate it.
I got mine on a flash sale for $40, and I had that much fun in the few days I had it. But I never mastered it and won't buy another even for $40.
