Looks like I get the first review!This is a beautiful little helicopter that flies like a dream. It has colored lights in the tail that come on in flight. It makes for a fun light show in a dark room.My favorite thing about this helicopter is that it is so easy to fly and easy to direct around obstacles. As with any helicopter it has taken a few good crashes but is very durable as I can see no adverse effects of the crashes.I highly recommend this to anyone who....just anyone.

This little thing was great. I took it to a white elepahnt party and it was the best gift there. The party ended with all of the guys taking turns playing with it. It only stays charged for about 6 minutes, but it's incredibly durable. I'd recommend it to anyone.

this was a gift for my daughter, it seemed less quality that I had expected, it didn't last 24 hours

• How accurate was the sizing? accurate
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. it broke the day we got it
• Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? yes

I PURCHASED THIS FOR MY 8 YEAR OLD SON. ONE PROPELLAR BROKE WITHIN 5 MINUTES AND THE OTHER ONE DID NOT LAST TOO MUCH LONGER.

The thing flew great and was set up good, but on the first flight the copter hit a fan blade (not moving)and broke the balance shaft (Plastic) would not be that big of a deal if you could get replacement parts.but now on the first flight we have a non flying helecopter

When I purschased this, I thought it was a good deal. Some things you should not buy without inspecting them. The helicopter was very flimsy and hard to control. After somewhat mastering the controls, my dog thought it was a flying lizard, she hates lizards. So to avoid it being an afternoon snack, I manuvered it away from her and it hit my TV. The top part of the shaft broke and cannot be fixed or glued. This was on the second day that I had it. One of the blades broke also. It did not hit that hard. They do give you 2 extra blades. Maybe I should have flew it in an open field with no lizard haters around. My bad.

I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend in college. I like it because it was a decently priced 3 channel helicopter that can go forward/backward (as opposed to the 2 channel ones with only go up/down and left/right). The reviews made it sound like a sturdy helicopter and with my budget, I could not afford to buy a warranty, so I tried to get the most stable thing. The helicopter look and flies great, but it is not the sturdiest thing. The description talks about it being half-metal; I have no idea where that metal is. Perhaps they were refering to the lithium in the battery. The only major concerns in terms of stability are that when the helicopter battery is fully charged, it goes up FAST and can hit the ceiling. Also, I would only fly is where you had carpet, to help cushion any crash landings. If you can, I would also suggest you get the warranty, just in case. Definitely a fun toy though, and my boyfriend loves it.

I bought this for my son for Christmas. My husband found it and felt the need to check it out before our son opened it. It took him a few minutes to manuever it, but he had way too much fun! I am a little concerned about the blades holding up, but my husband is making me buy him one now. I would suggest buying rechargable batteries as the remote takes 6 AA and the helicopter plugs into the remote to charge.

I've been flying this around for several weeks and been crashing it for several weeks and it's still holding up. I have to admit though, one of the blades is missing a small piece but it still flies just fine. I think the folding blades have prevented the the main rotor from getting any serious damage. Still having a blast with it.

What a blast!!! Bought 3 as gifts and the guys I gave them to absolutely LOVE them!! They say they are durable and easy to maneuver! The flashing lights on them are great! Really glad I ordered them. Great price!

I bought this helicopter for my 10 year old son for Christmas. It has great movement and he thoroughly enjoyed playing with it. I dare say it was one of his favorite gifts. The only problem is the fragility of the copter blades. They are so fragile and thin they have broken numerous times even when falling down on a thickly carpeted area. Great to play with but don't except it to hold up.

I wanted to revisit my youth (as does my boss), so we both bought a bunch of RC devices. This thing is sooo much fun. It's easy to fly and very simple to maintain. You just need to provide 6 AA batteries, but everything else is included.I fly this thing mostly indoors, and it's 8-9 minutes of a good time, everytime. Buy this.
