    Very responsive and easy to fly. It's very small, however, with poor battery life.

    Good For Indoor Copter

    Won this as a prize, but this is a great little copter. For the price you can't really go wrong. Make sure to read the manual, it explains how to set the trim on the remote to stop it from spinning! Pretty durable so far, hit it into almost every surface in the house, not hard to fly with a little practice. Fun for (never grew up)adults too! Battery Life is somewhat short, (think zip zaps rc cars) but honestly, for a few double as and a short wait its good fun!

    Thresher Protocol Helicopter

    For an inexpensive toy, I'm very impressed with it. I've crashed it over and over indoors, and haven't hurt it a bit. So far the spare parts sit unused, and that's a good thing. The controls are very simple, though it takes time to get the hang of it, but that time spent is fun. Thinking about it, I'm going to go back before I submit this and raise it from 4 stars to the 5 stars it deserves.

    It flew for about 3 minutes and then the remote just quit working. All the light came on, there was just a lack of communication.

    Flies great, fails quickly

    I have flown similar helicopters and they are a lot of fun. I got this one for my son (26) for Christmas. Without any experience (but a little coaching) he was able to fly it like a pro! Great flight characteristics. However, near the end of that first charge, it died abruptly. No lights, nothing. Recharging didn't help. I exchanged it at the store for another one. It died in the exact same manner. I suspect that the battery or the circuit board burned out?!? We didn't crash either one. I wonder if this was a bad batch, as no one else has posted any problems like this.

    Breaks Easily

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

    This helicopter is super cool, but breaks very easily. I bought 2 for my younger brothers and 1 of them broke after just 3 uses. Also not good for group play (with more than 1 plane.) The remote controls aren't specific to each helicopter and 1 can control multiple. For the price, It's ok but my recommendation is to invest in one that is built better.
