    Bought it because it was on-sale. A little confusing at first. Not made for windy day flying.

    $100 and broke the first time my husband used it. Very fragile. I do not think we will replace it.

    This was a birthday gift for our granddaughter. After a few tries w the remote control, she had complete control over the helicopter. Truly amazing to watch her operate the helicopter.

    Battery life

    Rated 4 out of 5 stars

    More battery life- 5star toy!

    Posted .

    First flight I "hit through the cycle" (bounced off my 3rd story roof, hit a cable line, slapped a tree branch, bounced it out of the grass a few times trying to land it softly) and it's still going! Been through 3 charge cycles now, and as everyone else has pointed out, the charging time is bad. The battery life is best on a trickle charge however, so in the long term, it's for the best. But it sure stinks trying to play when it's dead in 10 minutes and you're done for an hour. Our weather changes by the hour here, so it's a bummer that we might get a 5 minute flight in one day. but it's a hoot!! I think it's pretty fast, and hovering over your head, it sure sounds like the "chop chop chop" of real helicopter blades! Throws a ton of air under it, and is NOT COOL INDOORS! My poor dog, ceiling fan, wall, fish tank, thankfully I don't own any birds!! It's good times, I would buy another one if I broke this one, but I think that's actually going to be a tall order, as I'm already getting the hang of this, half hour worth of flight time, on a 37 year old's brain mind you, it's not rocket science, it's r/c helicopter science!

    Nighteared to fly. Can't be controlled. Flys with a mind of its own. Don't even attempt to fly outside as a slight breeze will take it away.

    I was looking for an inexpensive flying toy this December. I had in mind a drone ,but after reading about the governmental requirements & restriction I decided to give this babe a try. I read a lot of good reviews about this helicopter. I took it home & charge it, read the manuals. It only took me 20 min to realize how it will end. Super hard to fly. Eventually it will end up braking. I took it back to the store & got my money back. I will get a Drone I gues!
