Client Evaluations

I purchased this toy for my son and myself, and I must say I have been well pleased with its construction, durability and functionality. The toy has taken a number of tough crashes into buildings, concrete, and trees -- so its tuff, damn tuff, but how nicely does it fly? Firstly, its extra a powerful bird as compared to any of the smaller battery powered helicopters I have previously bought or observed. It flies high, 100 feet and it desires a lot of space to honestly appreciate flying it. You can fly it in the backyard, but I uncover I devote a great deal more time worrying about crashing it into the home than seriously getting entertaining.
The gyro's preserve the copter level and give pinpoint turning -- Meaning that It spins about whilst hovering in mid-air. The flight challenge is to preserve the copter's hight steady, whilst moving the copter forward. Again, turning is not an problem, its balancing the hight and forward direction that is difficult. A single reviewer mentioned that it will not fly forward or backward on the other hand this is not the case. Just after a couple of days of practice each my 9 year old and I could pilot the copter reasonably nicely. I got about 15 minutes of flying time for every hour of charging. With the high learning curve this can make for some frustration. Is it worth shopping for? Yeah, its entertaining, and my son and I got a huge kick out of it -- specifically at night as it lights up! But, personally I wondered if it could possibly not be worth it to invest a tiny a great deal more money and obtain a bigger copter that is easer to fly.
Bottom Line: This copter is fun, sturdy, will and may nicely satisfy your requirements -- if you place some time in mastering to fly it.

Initially R/C helicopter I've ever owned -- not new to the R/C scene, even though (and I have a really good understanding of how actual helicopters fly and operate). It took me a tiny obtaining put to use to (hence the "difficult for newbies" comment), but uncomplicated to master (hence the "quick for intermediates" comment).
A lot of the other critiques have covered most of the difficulties -- right here are my additional thoughts:
- Flies quite well appropriate out of the box -- continuously desires to be trimmed on the rotational axis and, as an individual else noted, keeping height/hover control is a bit difficult.
- The Speedy/Slow toggle switch is good for controlling your speed indoors (use the Slow setting). I've but to fly this outdoors (darned winter...mid-December 2010 as I write this), so have not truly tried the Quick setting. It does appear to fly noticeably faster in the Quick setting.
- Only actual unfavorable that I've encountered so far (prevented this from receiving a complete 5-star rating in my book) is that the high quality control is a touch lacking -- a single of the wires soldered onto the On/Off switch came loose on the 2nd flight, requiring me to have to re-solder the wire (and asking for my wife's aid, as it was definitely a 3-hand operation).
And it looks like I got a deal, the price tag seems to have gone up by about $20 because I purchased it!
