It is OK for the price; however, it seems difficult to control. Start up takes awhile. When you begin flying it takes off too quickly.

Easy to fly and a lot of fun with the children. Just don't take it out in greater than 3-5 MPH wind unless your a real expert.

This is a helicopter for beginners because it is easy to fly. Fun for the advanced also, despite not being hobby grade. The one problem I have found is that it does NOT have left and right functionality like it advertises. It has the ability to go forward/backward and the ability to change directions with the tail rotor.

Relatively easy to fly due to the stabilizer and larger size compared to other smaller helicopters. However, battery life / flight time is rather short.

I bought this with higher hopes. Its a nice item but does not handle all that well. It's fun to go out and fly around the yard for a few but can be hard to control at times.

I bought this for my husband, it is the first RC helicopter he has played with so not much to compare it with. He loves it but it is a little hard to learn to fly. Other than that it seems to be a good product for someone with a little more flight experience.

You have to be outdoors to play this safely and should have license with the FAA, playing it at the park was fun. Crashed a few times but the heli held up, so good for beginner hobbyists
