i made this purchase to give as a birthday gift to a six year old. my concern was, would he be able to master the manuvers of flight without destroying the product. his mom told me that within a quarter hour, he had the helicopter movements totally mastered.

i got this for my dad for christmas and he loved it. it takes a while to figure out how to fly it and keep it stable in the air. the body is made of Styrofoam so i wouldn't recommend to young kids cause a sense of awareness is needed in keeping the helicopter in one piece.
