i bought this a a present for my 10 year old son. it took a little while for him to get the knack of it but with in no time he was flying it like a pro. the only downfalls are it is a bit delicate ,so not really for too young a child, and the charge only lasts 5 or so minutes. but hey for the money it is brilliant . i feel it has been a good starter for my son and he is already considering a higher spec more powerfull option. ]]>

I saw my nephew with something similar to this, and RC toys certainly have come a long way!
It is a lot of fun, and does what it says on the tin. Being very small and lightweight, it is unlikely to hurt or damage much if flown indoors. However, especially fragile items/plants may want to be shielded!
It does take a little getting used to, and frequent delicate fine adjustments are needed to keep it from spinning or otherwise going out of control. I’ve not had any major crashes with it, but so far it has stood up surprisingly well to the minor bumps and fast landings.
A badly translated manual comes with this. Laughably bad, like terrible dubbing or subtitling on a decades old martial arts film!

Ordered this for christmas, and was not disappointed. VERY easy to fly and control, and it has survived quite a few crashes. I was surprised at how sturdy it was for such a small thing. Only downside is battery life, it charges for about 20 mins off the batteries in the remote ( 6 AA ) and flys for only about 5, I would recoomend getting some rechargables for it. Overall 4 out of 5 definetely worth the money, very fun and easy to use once you get used to it. Seller delivered on christmas eve despite snow as well ! ]]>

Syma Vision Precision Control S010 R/C Indoor Helicopter
This RC Helicopter is absaluetly brilliant and I recommend it much higher than a picooz, With a picooz you can only control the helicopter left, right, up, down but with the syma you can control it forwards, backwards, left, right, up, down. The trim control is very accurate, again much better than the picooz.
This helicopter is very durable but i highly reccomend that you fly it in a space where you have a reasonable amount of room, In my second day of owning the rotor blades have been dented and the back propeller had snapped off, this was easy to glue back on again but I didn’t expect this to happen after some other similar reviews I had read.
Overall I think this is absalutly brilliant for the price and I wouldn’t mind buying a few more for family presents.

My boy is helicopter mad and wanted a small radion controlled model to fly around the living room. The Syma S010 arrived in a nice coloured box complete with controller. It takes around 15mins to charge which gives you around 5 minutes flying time which seems more than enough. After a few iffy flights he managed to get it flying nice and stable only a few feet from the ground. Very impressed, I just hope its durable enough to survive the odd crash landing! ]]>
