It's a very simple toy, just two electric small engines and that's it... but it's funny to play with it. Most of the buttons from the remote control are fake, but who cares? You need to get 8 AA rechargable batteries for the remote... otherwise you will spend a fortune in batteries. Is so much fun and very inexpensive.

La verdad es que es muy sencillo, solo dos motorcitos electricos y ya, pero es muy divertido. Algunos de los botones del control remoto son falsos, pero a quien le importa? Mi recomendacion es que compren 8 baterias recargables para el control si no quieren terminar arruinados comprando pilas AA. La verdad es que esta muy barato para lo que es.

I don't know what all the negative reviews are for. If you have rc experience this model should be a snap. Sure you can't really control where it goes (you can a little without wind and with proper application of throttle) but it's a 2 channel for beginners, what do you expect? Overall for 32$ this chopper is a great value. I received it, trimmed it out, and went flying! It's a lot of fun and actually VERY easy to control as far as helicopters go. The motors are powerful enough to do touch and go, it clubs fast when you throttle up. It's pretty durable however I was flying in a court and had it up high when the wind caught it. I cut the throttle and it crashed on the neighbors roof and broke a skid strut. Really that's pretty tough though as it hit hard. Bottom line I may order another.

This Helli has had some bad press but you need to be patient. You must set the trim, e.g. the potentiometer that balances the tail rota which stops the helli spinning. The instruction in the manual are rubbish and backwards. The other thing you have to be aware of is that unlike the coaxial hellis, the 9083 is like a real helli, e.g. always unstable. So, when you increase the throttle, you have to adjust the tail rota as well. What does not help is that the tail rota and the remote are backwards, e.g. if you move the lever to the left the helli goes right!!!. Just need to remember that the stick direction is which way the tail will go, e.g tail to left turns helli to right. Last thing, the nose is light so try adding some bluetac in the nose which puts it into a better forward flight.

the first we ordered got lost in the mail so Amazon sent replacement ( great customer service), we got the first one we ordered the same day they told us they had sent replacement..so we ended up with two within 2 days
we were preparing the second to be returned when my husband announced the first one didn't work properly so we opened the second to see if we would keep it instead
it didn't work either
the instruction book mentions the problem as a possible, and tells you what to do to rectify the problem...but it doesn't work either
really disappointed in this product
but, Amazon customer service A+

The copter just keeps spinning. even though it was cheap I can't get a first flight with it spinning all the time. I've adjuted the trim both ways but nothing seems to help. Other then that it is big and durable. It's spun into tables and walls with no breakage. I am going to see what the seller will do about this. I don't want to pay the $20 to ship it back to them thou. I bought it for $24. May as well buy another one before i return.

When this arrived , I noticed it was an older model with no lights, and it didn't work.
Sent it back. Wouldn't recommend this model. Get a newer one.

Dont waste your money. It was missing pieces and wouldn't even fly 3 inches off the ground. Keep your money go buy a american made helicopter.

When I recieved this heli, The first thing I noticed about it was that the head cover was broken. I tried to fix it but couldn't. I don't know if this particular one was a return or what, because it was dirty and had scrapes on the landing gear.. Then after I charged it, I took it outside to try to fly. All it did was go around in cicles and would not go any higher than about 10 inches off the ground. When I tried to adjust the petentiometer, that broke on me. All in all the whole thing was a big waste of money for me. I tried to return it, but couldn't, because they said it was "already flown". It was "already flown" when I got it. So now, I have a $35.00 "paper weight" that dosen't fit on my desk. Save your money!!!!

This is the worst helicopter anybody could have. it is very low quality and spins around no matter how much you try to fix it. it also cannot handle the slightest breeze. Do not by this helicopter is is not durable and its cheap and low quality. if you were smart you wouldn't buy this..... thing.

I bought this to give at our family Christmas party- the directions for assembly were a little lacking but after playing around with it you can figure it out on your own. The remote did/does not work. It won't power on. I have replaced the 8 aa batteries but still no luck. This is not the highest quality toy and I do now regret purchasing it. Looks neat though! I would not recommend this toy because of quality issues
