Charging port on chopper broke in two days. Only flies about 4 min/charge. Runs through batteries quickly because you charge off the remote.

this is my first remote helicopter. spent some time learning how to control and fly it. I think a more expensive model might have better flight control response, but then it could just be me. I purchased the cheapest model on the shelf, and now think I should have spent a little more.

This helicopter flies well indoors and is worth it for the price. The kids love it! I wish the battery on these things lasted longer though!

You'll have a good time flying this little guy around. Bought it for my ten year old niece but her 40 year old dad is having just as much fun flying it around the house.

The copter worked great and my son loved it! But only for about an hour and one of the blades broke. I then spend over an hour online trying to track down replacement parts...the info that came with the copter was total rubish and not helpful AT ALL. Very disappointed. I was able to locate a possible replacement part on Amazon but it's been 5 weeks and it still hasn't arrived.

I bought this as a gift for my nephew and he loved it. He could manage it fairly easy. The only thing about it is that all the parts are mostly plastic so it didn't handle the bumps and landings too well.

The tailpiece is very fragile. My 11 year son was carefully using it and after about 5 uses, the tailpiece broke after a hard landing. Unless your use is limited to the most cautious use, plan on this breaking.

Fully charged and it would only fly for about 20 seconds before it would drop and then the rotors would just spin. It was a waste of money.

I bought this for my son for Xmas. On the second flight it broke. Now I expected it to not last forever and eventually break, but not after 5 min. Can't recommend.

This is my first rc helicopter and I thought it was great! Yeah it only lasts 6 minutes but it only takes 20 minutes to charge which is not really that long compared to others out there. The helicopter has to be light weight so you can't put a huge battery in it and the motor is small so they get hot after flying it for so long so 6 minutes of flight is understandable. Only thing I didn't like about it was that the port to charge it is a little flimsy and it feels like its going to break off when plugging in the charger but so far no problems. Would definitely purchase it again!
