Client Critiques

I have some of the exact same feelings as "D. Hull" in his evaluation. I had often wanted a RC helicopter, but found them to be too pricey until lately. And then I located the Spy Hawk RC LT-711 RC helicopter. When I purchased this, I thought the built in digital camera with mini-SD card that can be activated via remote was a genius notion. It was a sleek looking helicopter with a camera, lights, and the price tag was outstanding. It looked too really good to be true...and it was. Here are my observations from my encounter in the couple of days I have had this.
1) The instruction manual is the worst a single I have ever noticed...EVER. It was written in broken English and is riddled with grammatical errors and other statements that just make no sense. To begin with, it is a tiny leaflet with 8 pages, two of which are pictures of spare parts (but, of course, there is no instructions on how to essentially replace any parts need to one thing break). Where's the rest? This manual is awfully skimpy for a RC helicopter with a camera. Right here are a handful of gems, but there are a lot a lot more. I am not making use of poor grammar right here. These are direct quotes from the instruction manual:
-"Notice: When the airplane is away from the ground in 30cm position, the helicopter will suffer by itself blade vortex to turn into unstable, we call it 'effect response', when the helicopter height lower, and the 'effect response' affect will be bigger."
-"Notice: When the indicator of the controller is sparkle, which shows the controller is lack of power. And you can transform some batteries for it."
There are also parts labeled in the instruction manual in which there is no explanation or instruction supplied, such as the "voltage indicator" on the remote and "2 speed mode" button. How do these perform? Who knows? The instruction manual does not tell you.
The instruction manual also indicates this helicopter is for ages 14+, but the box clearly says ages 8+. This sort of discrepancy will need to by no means exist, but in my private opinion, I would not give this to an 8 year old.
two) The digital camera does not perform reliably. I got it to record a handful of seconds of test video, but just after placing the mini SD card back in the helicopter, it only recorded a blank file. For each five of 6 blank files it would record, the camera would essentially record 1 video, only to go back to making blank files.
three) Battery capacity is inconsistent. The instruction manual says "Do not charge over 60-70 minutes". To me, that indicates following 70 minutes of charging and then unplug it from the charger. Proper? Will failure to do so harm the battery? I don't know. Once more, the instruction manual doesn't say. There is an indicator light that goes from red to green when the battery is finished charging. A single time, it showed it was charged after about 70 to 75 minutes of charging. The result? The helicopter's battery offered about two minutes of flying time. The following charge, it took 2 hours till the battery indicated it was charged. That time, the helicopter flew for about one minute, but couldn't be controlled in the air. The propellers would just spin and the helicopter wouldn't get off the ground again right after I landed it.
3) The helicopter is really hard to manage outside. It was a sunny day, 54 degrees and no wind. Forward and reverse controls did little to manage the movement of the helicopter.
I have followed what little directions were offered and haven't crashed the helicopter in the tiny time it truly flew. But right after only a couple of flights, it isn't recording video, has an inconsistent and unreliable battery charging system and battery capacity. And, worse but, the helicopter now won't even get off the ground.
If this had been a reliable product that did what was advertised and had a alot more thorough and understandable instruction manual, I would be content to own this helicopter and advocate it to other folks.
I will be returning this helicopter and I welcome anyone's suggestions for a more trustworthy product.

This copter barely goes forward. The video camera functions just at times and only records for a handful of seconds. I broke a blade on the second flight since it wouldn't go forward. I currently own 6 chopers and this is the worse. There are a lot improved copters out there. I had high hopes and was let down.
