I bought this heli mainly for the flybar and taillight. I does fill a small niche in that I can fly it in total darkness outside as long as there's less than 3mph wind. Even thought this is a large bird, it does not have the authority to fly in any wind. Also, because of it's size you can do no more than hover indoors. Also, the blades are heavy engough that I'd worry about damaging furniture, windows, etc..
The 4hrs needed to recharge (NiCad Battery) for a 10min flight means this bird is best suited for when you want to do a little different type of flying... along with the rest of your helis. It's simply too long to wait for the batteries to recharge.
I own Syma S022, S024, S107. The S107 is THE BEST heli for indoor flying. It small, light and durable so you can actually fly indoors, without worring about damaging your flatscreen TV... or the heli.

My wife got this for my birthday. I was shocked at how short its 4 hr. charge was/is. Other than only being able to play with it for 10 min. it's great.

This product was for my grandchild. It arrived promptly, was better than expected! Great product, wish the battery lasted longer, however, it's my understanding that this is typical with all of these types of remote control items. Overall great product.

We chose the Eagle LED 3 ch RC Helicopter Radio Remote Control 26" Electric Falcon Eagle Model Helicopter because the information on this helicopter promised "Design delivers optimal characteristics for beginners..." and "Unique material withstands crashes", plus it looked awesome. We were so excited to get this helicopter for our son, but it was a HUGE MISTAKE. The packaging says it is great for beginners, but the "eagle" casing is a fragile plastic that broke on it's first landing - and it wasn't even a crash landing!. Next landing the metal landing ski broke off. The ski is metal, but is attached to the helo by very fragile plastic, which is what broke. It still flew without the eagle casing and the landing ski, but on the next landing one of the rotating top blades broke off. This all happened at the hands of my hubby as he was demonstrating for our son before he even got a chance at controlling. It would get good height, then crap out and fall. It was very exciting for all of 15 minutes until it wasn't flyable. 13 yr old's reaction to helo gift on Christmas morning: awesome; Look on face when flying: wonderful; Tears on face when broken: heart breaking; Dad's reaction: unprintable.

Will try to return, but not hopeful, as return instructions say they won't take back items damaged by crashes...

The helicopter would not trim due to a bad Reciever/ESC, the tail keep spinning and would not trim out. However, they are suppose to be sending me a replacement part which happen without any problems so that service was good. Hopefully it will fix the problem, I am a little familiar with fixing R/C's so hopefully I will not have any problems replacing the part.

i bought this item to have some fun with outside. well if there a little gust of wind you will not be able to fly it. i mean like a house fan on med. i didnt have much fun with this item. so far i have only flown it 3 time. first time i was just getting about 2 feet off the ground and landing it. well i broke 2 rotors when i landed it. the 2 time i got a little higher and the wind took it to my roof at my house and than came crashing down. lost some parts but still flys after replacing a rear rotor (thats why i gave it a 2 on "durable". 3 time i just gave up with it. . . it has been sitting for about a month now.
i have flown gas helicopters out side and never had problems like this before.

do not recommend this item.

This is amazing!!! it is very controlled while hovering. i took it to about 70 ft. above my head and it sounded a little like a real one. it was really cool!

i got this helicoptor broken in the mail iam trying to exchange it for a new one.

I bought this helicopter 2 months ago. this was my first real rc helicopter. I found it very easy to learn to fly, just dont try to fly in any wind.Helicopter is tough, I had 2 or 3 hard crashes and only broke a small part where the canopy snaps onto the frame.Very easy to fly inside if you have the room.

We bought this helicopter for my age 40+ son-in-law for Christmas. He was as excited as a kid. It only took a couple of tries to get it flying and he has used it often in the last two months. It does have a short flying time - about 20 minutes - which my daughter said was great because he can't spend ALL his time playing every evening. Several pieces of the body have cracked or broken, but parts are available and inexpensive. I'd recommend it for a teen or adult.
