5.0 out of 5 stars Great Toy!!!, December 27, 2006

This review is from: R/C Gyrotor Helicopter (Toy)

This is a very fun and unique toy!!! It is great for indoor flying, but when outdoors it is a little more difficult due to the wind. For even the slightest wind will throw it off course, considering it is so light. It is great for indoors though, but it is hard to fly in small cluttered rooms. i recommend a nice open space indoors. I would recommend this item but only if you are patient, this was my first helicopter so it took a little bit to get the right trim setting and to learn how to control it properly. There is only one thing I do not enjoy about it and that is there is a delay in the response with the controls, so it took some time to get used to it. I am 16 and it was a little difficult to get used to it so I wouldn't recommend this item for anyone under the age of 11-12.

...I could've gotten this to work for me. It looked great, I think it's one of the best-looking R/C helos out there. The LED light in its nose was very cool & bright, I was pleasantly surprised.

I happened to get a defective unit because after charging it up, it wouldn't respond to the controls. After trying for half an hour, letting it charge all the way down and recharging, it responded for maybe a minute, and then quit responding again. The SilverLit customer support was very friendly though and worked with me. I just decided to return it because I had to recover some money on an unrelated, unexpected expense.

I would probably come back and try getting another one again though, just because it looked so cool and the SilverLit customer service was so friendly. Like any other R/C helicopter though, it will take a litle bit of practice before you can enjoy it fully, and like any other R/C helicopter, it probably won't last too long with kids under 10.

It took me a while to get accustomed to the controls, as this was my first R/C helicopter. It was fairly easy to use right out of the box. The controller requires a 9 volt battery, which doesn't come with it.
I used it in the house, and works well. Cant wait till spring to use it outdoors! Lots of Fun... Highly Recommended!
