This is my 3rd RC Heli and I can this one is VERY DURABLE RC HELI! I've had to buy replacement parts for both of my other rc helis but this one is one TOUGH HELI! I accidently flew it into my swimming pool and it quickly sank to the bottom of the deep end (8'). I fished it out with the pool net, shook it out, laid it in the sun for a couple of hours and it runs and flies PERFECTLY! This happened over a week ago and still no problems what-so-ever. This heli is a great choice for kids and it flies forward and backwards much faster than my other, much more expensive rc helis!

This review is from: Newest Rc 3 Channel Chinook Helicopter (Toy)

I am a marine helicopter pilot and flew the CH-46 Sea Knight. I bought this one since it is the only RC chopper that comes in this double rotor configuration. After toying with many RC helicopters, I can say this model is quite some fun to fly. Anyone can handle it no matter the age, it is durable, extremely nice detailed and if you are lucky enough to get the one that comes with an external charger, you have it made. The only pet peeve is the fact that the battery used in this model is quite not up to par for powering 4 electric motors. You can probably get 3-5 minutes out of a fully charged battery. If its 5, then you are OK but mostly after 3 minutes of continuous flying, the model just hovers about 4" inches over ground with not enough juice to make it climb again... If you are savvy in electronics, get another battery from another model, place them in parallel and you might extend your flying time... Overall, quite a nice toy. (oh yeah... do not fly it outside in the day-time. Infrared range outside is about 5 - 6 feet after which the model loses signal and - someone has to "notify the pilot's family"....)

NOTE: AFTER ONLY 1 WEEK OF OWNING THIS MODEL IT FAILED (as did all other helicopters I bought) !!!! I guess this is to be expected from toys employing new technology (i.e. the new Li-po battery pack used in these micro helos). This model as well as ALL other helicopters I have that use the Li-po batteries inside, fail to charge after you use them for a week or so. Thus your hard earned money will last you a few days of fun after which you have to decide if it's worth spending even more to get replacement batteries or just place the toy on the mantle and remember the "good ol' days" when it used to work...

4.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware!, January 15, 2010

buyer beware. Syma recently changed the design on the heli. They no longer include a charger with this heli. They expect you to charge the heli a cable on the remote which is powered with 6AA batteries. How much sense does this make? Beware before your purchase and check with the dealer and make sure you get a charger with the heli. Other than that this is a really fun toy.
