It never goes where I want it to, but is definitely fun to fly, and it looks very cool in flight. It has plenty of power for a helicopter of its size, and hovers very nicely, but moves forward and backward somewhat slowly. A tail rotor upgrade would probably fix this. The best part is, I've hit furniture, the cieling, myself (almost), and it did not suffer any damage. The structure of the legs means that it normally bounces when it hits the floor, instead of suffering the impact. I took it outside once and a gust of wind took it over the house. It fell quite a distance and lost the tail rotor. I used the replacement in the box and it still works fine, though it doesn't hover as nicely as used to. I'd probably give it seven or eight stars out of a possible five, for durability! Rating: 4 / 5 The helicopter is difficult to control.

It is also surprisingly durable having crashed a few times and being none the worse for the experience. This is a much better flying experience then the small IR microhelicopters available.

The toy sometimes has it's own mind, it will fly up or turn on without being asked. When you crash and you will crash all the time, the rotors keeps turning. I have had many hard crashes and it still can fly. The charging time is good and the flying time is about 10 min. Care toward the end minutes as the device goes crazy for some reason, best not to try and fly when the battery is low. I had my share of fun, the price is fair for the technology you get. If one is careful one can enjoy this toy for sure. Rating: 3 / 5 I wish the control was more precise, no picking up stuff like the commercials you might have seen for RC Helicopters.

However, the product did not function at all. It was charged properly and the transmitter light was fully lit. What a dud. Waste of money, and especially a waste of time on the internet and post office returning it. <br /> Rating: 1 / 5 Boy, was I excited to receive this helicopter at first.
