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!

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...

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.

The helicopter is a 3 channel but very durable can withstand many crashed and be just fine. Once you get the pitch and trim just right you'll be flying like a pro

Stabilizing the heli is quite easy, but once your chopper is in the air stationnary, that's about all you can do: it reacts randomly to remote instructions going forward when you want backwards or starting sideways without logic. Also, after a mere 6 to 8 charges the battery is not giving enough juice to lift the toy more than a few inches above the ground. For the price and the size of the toy I didn't have many expectations, but even so this is a big delusion and a total waste of money...

After having fun with those cheapo two channel RC helicopters I wanted to step up without breaking the bank. So I bought this one and wasn't disappointed. It comes with a wall charger which tells you when it's done charging. Then as promised it turns left/right, goes up/down, and goes forward/reverse. It's fun to see my 3 and 7 year old run around it and see my 7 year old figure it out. It's really hard to land on small surfaces and any wind current will greatly affect performance. If your helicopter starts to erratically rock back and forth and then crash, make sure to check that the link between the gyroscopic weights and the top propeller blade hasn't come undone from the last crash. You just click it back into place and it works again. That's only happened once though. I make sure to not fly it against anything hard and avoid string. It won't carry anything more than a gram or so, but it's still loads of fun and teaches a lot about controlling inertia style flight devices.

First i want to you to get the heli here because the delivery is lightning fast. i picked standard delivery, but the heli came in 1 day.
What the heck? i was like are ya kidding? I mean Airsoft N more just a great company with great services. i ordered it on thursday and it came on friday. so that was super cool.
okay the heli now. the Heli was brand new and clean out of the box. no missing pieces and ready to fly.
I'll talk about the controller first. The controller was the part i got a little sad because it was weak plastic. of course i didn't expect a whole lot but it was the spot i was worried because i frequently drop things. But aside from it looks it turned out to be pretty durable and i like it. The throttle stick was perfect( a bit too springy?) and the other controls were fine. over all a grade A controller.
The heli was the part i loved. So real, amazing detail. It flew up great, even though a bit shaky at the first flight, turned softly moved forward easily and backwards easily. it flew up 6or 7 mins and usually charged up in 30-40 mins. The only part that i kinda didn't like was the on-off switch. It was a bit small and i some times had to double check to see if it was off.

Overall great heli pretty easy to fly(takes about 3or 4 practice flights)(30 crashes) and is very duuuuuuurrrrrrrraaaaaabbbbbbbllllllle.
okay? very duuuuurrrable. so if your a beginner then just scroll up and click checkout :D

This was the second syma RC I have bought and neither have functioned properly. this particular model would not charge at all straight outta the box! and secondly they did not provide a USB charger. Syma must be bottom of the barrel cause I have had zero luck!

The first helicpoter that is easy to keep level. Very durable, crashed several times from a great hight and still in tact.

This toy is amazing, I got this toy and i love it it is so fun. If you love rc helis this is the one for you. I have one rc heli already and its by yiboo but this one is way better and its by syma. It is very fun and flight time is about 10 mins. It has very good steering and it is super durable.I crashed it multiple times and it is still in perfect condition. It is very fast. This is a great one for all of you who want this.
