for the small amount of money asked for this little heli you cannot go wrong, its small and easy to learn to fly, you may only be able to go up and down, steer left or right but you will have hours of fun, around 10 mins of flight each time and takes a max of 10 mins to charge again, a brilliant start to flying helicopters ]]>

I got this for a friend after having the desert king picoo (which is really nice) and I was greatly dissapointed that it couldn’t be controled. I dont think we did anything wrong but if so te other reviews will tell… ]]>

Gave these as presents at Xmas to 3 boys aged 8,11,13 all of them loved them, quickly mastered controls and constaintly played with them throughout the Xmas holiday.
Bad points: Can be difficult to trim the helicopter precisely. One of the 3 I purchased still has a tendancy to spin around alot and if you are buying them for brothers etc that will want to fly them at the same time, you will need to purchase different coloured ones as the 3 red I got are all on the same frequency which you cannot change.
Good points: Because of the size (its in the palm of your hand) they are really cool. The controller doubles up as the storage unit for the helicopter which is great as these tiny things need the care. Easy to recharge. Good things come in little packages. Would consider buying the other colours when on offer. ]]>

I wasnt sure whether this would be a good present or not for my 16 year old son. However, I bought it as a stocking filler, as it was fantastic value for money. The whole family ended up playing with it. Once you get the hang of the controls on the box, it is easy to make this helicopter fly. I have flown it numerous times, and it is easy to control.It is so light and small so it wont damage your furniture, or light fittings if it touches them.
We had so much fun with this. It only takes 10 minutes to re-charge in the box, and it is ready to fly again. When youve finished, it can be packed back in the plastic control box.
A fabulous present for all the family. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. It made our Christmas a lot of fun!!! ]]>

I’ve never had a toy helicopter before, so have no skills in flying. Had it a few days and able to make it hover. Not mastered manouvers yet. Probably me, but seems quite jerky at times (i.e. reduce power a bit and it sinks to the floor fast!!)
Good fun, and has survived lots of crashes so far. Comes with a Spare tail rotor in the packet too.

On the first day that I got this helicopter I had so much fun with it. The only problem is that I damaged it.It is very easy to destroy if you have them sort of fingers that can’t wait to go higher and higher.It was all going well till I started trying to get of the ground which has caused me a quite little problem at the beginning.Firstly you need to go to a park or if you have a huge garden or maybe a reasonably good size room to fly this machine.Then I recommend to buy before you even try flying this thing a ‘safety crash kit on ebay’ and if you know that’s not enough because you tend to crash stuff buy your self an extra pair of ‘blades on ebay’. This will get you started thinking why not to crash this helicopter.My first crash took place in my garden,I was coming to a landing and all of the sudden I forgot to put the accelerator down slowly on the remote and BANG it hit the ground taking a hit on the blades and braking them.The problem is without the safety crash kit its going to tip to the side when landing faster than recommended,because what they do is simply 4 little soft balls in the shape of an ‘X’ are placed under the ‘CANOPY’ and prevent it tipping over.Overall a good price for a great toy that will keep you interested for at least 3 months.Really go for it if you are older than 12. ]]>
