DO NOT purchase this product. At first it seems like a decent helicopter, after you charge it for half an hour... then after thirty seconds of flight time, can not get higher in the air, and just sinks to the ground, where it no longer hovers. I recommend the palm z indoor airplane. Helicopters are too risky to buy! Hope this helps.

WARNING! DO NOT PURCHASE. IT FLEW FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS IN A CIRCLE AND THEN WOULDN'T FLY AGAIN. THE STORE WHERE I BOUGHT IT WAS GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO OFFER ME A FULL REFUND.

I purchased mine through Brookstone and it's worked well so far. My understanding is that it's hit-or-miss on getting a solid copter that will actually fly properly. If you get a solid copter, even then it takes some time to get control of it (it's not as stable as the Quad Transporter, which is awesome!). Overall, I would buy another one of these copters, but only after buying another Quad Transporter.

Wish I'd read the other two reviews first. This thing spins in circles, even after trying to make the recommended adjustments for that problem suggested in the instructions. Then, it spun in circles lower and lower to the ground although it was charged, and finally just buzzed and hopped around a little. We are returning it today. Wish I could give it no stars. Merry Christmas to us.
