    It's good to use for practice. However...I don't think charging should take longer than actual usage.

    You guys have to sync it

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The quad is awesome. It must be set on a flat surface. Turn on the controller. Pull each lever at the same time with your thumbs to the bottom corners of the joystick area. The quad copter lights will blink. When they blink it has now in sync with the level your quad copter was setting at. If you do this on uneven service it will fly that way. So, if you sync it on a slope and not level ground then it will fly like you had it setting. If you had it sloping forward when you synced it then it will not hover, it will fly forward because you synced it on uneven ground. This mini quad for the money is awesome. Yes the battery don't last long. Go by extra batteries for back up and you can play much longer. I fly is outside all the time, even in a little wind. Once you learn the controls it will be your favorite toy. 55 year old grandpa , I love this thing

    Not good

    I bought this quad as I was waiting for a more expensive one to be shipped and wanted one for a trip I was taking. I can't help but compare it to my Hubsan X4 as they are almost identical in appearance and price. The X4 is vastly superior in almost every way. This is very difficult to fly as the range is very short and easy to lose radio contact. I spent more time going to pick it up than I did flying it. I would say 80% of the time it just ends up crashing as it is dificult to land. It is ok in the air as long as it within 30 feet. Not a good experience after flying the X4 which had an HD camera by the way for the same price. The copter is not very durable and the prop guard might as well be made of thin glass. The easy trick function does work and I give it a thumbs up even though I dont care for flips and such. I will admit I had some fun flights on my trip, my X4 parts mostly all work on it: props, batteries etc. It still flies after dozens of crashes so maybe it is somewhat durable but. You may have some fun with it but I wouldn't buy again. Maybe I expected too much for $60 copter.

    Ok flying a drone takes a little practice. Below find a link to a Youtube video of my 16 year old son doing some sick flying with this little $50 drone. Best bang for the buck out there. http://youtu.be/NWS7MEpw0Qo

    Great small quad chopper. But it has a problem with calabration befor flight. Mine will not hover. one time it will fly forward the next time you power it up it may fly backword. it will not hover in the nutral position. Their are no trim pots on the remote!! It should return to hover any time the right stick is in the center position.
