Okay, I bought this helicopter on a whim. I'm currently serving in Iraq with the US Army and every once and a while (rarely), we get some down time. My battle buddy has a few smaller RC helicopters which she flies every once and while. I had one of those before but they just go up and down, maybe a few circles but that's it. I wanted a RC helicopter because I love flying, and I have about an hour down time before I go to bed. So I got the Chinook because it's a Chinook. 2 blades are better than one, right? It came in and I was surprised by how big it was because I thought it was going to be small. I was also concerned with the fact that the rotors are loose (no worries, this is suppose to be like that, it flies fine with the rotors like that.) The instruction booklet is poorly translated but its not that complicated. I finally took out for the first time and it was AMAZING! I didn't have to set the trim or anything! It flew like a dream and everyone was impressed with it! Even my battle buddy who says its ten times better than hers! It only takes a minute to get use to. I was even able to get it to land and fly to my hand. It has great control and it last longer than those smaller helos (we tested that out...). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS. This wouldn't be so great for someone younger but it is definately a great buy. I'm highly impressed! Once I get home from my deployment I plan to buy a few more just in case they stop producing these things. Hands down coolest rc helo for the price. Oh yea, did I mention it's durable? IT IS!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Lot of Fun, February 7, 2010

This thing is well worth the price, it is TONS of fun. Everyone wants to fly it. It's great to set-up landing areas and scenarios and stuff. My buddy shot at it with a Nerf gun (anti-aircraft) and it was awesome. You can knock it out of control by shooting the rotors in the right place. But it doesn't break it.

It has some serious lift; blows a crazy downwind, magazines and newspapers will fly around. It'll carry a weight of two spoons under it, impressive I think. It will take off real quick if you go full throttle. And it's surprisingly precise, I can regularly land it in about a 2x2 foot square.

It's also very durable, I have beat the crap out of it running into stuff, and it fell from almost power line height outside and didn't break.

It marks things a little bit if you run into the walls, but rarely. If you have pure white walls you might see a few black marks, but I haven't seen much.

Charges in about 30 minutes, flies for about 10 minutes.

Only gripes are that the charger it comes with is pretty cheap (I got a better Li-Po charger after that one broke) and that the controller sometimes loses contact. But that's rare.

Really fantastic toy for the price. I have had some of those mini RC helicopters before, and honestly for twice the price of one of those this heli is well worth the price. The steering takes a little getting used to, think of it as a hover craft rather than a car on wheels. You get the hang of it in no time, and a charge seems to last a good 10-15 minutes. Plus, and this is a huge plus, there are no batteries to replace accept in the controller. he helicopter itself charges from a wall outlet. The craft is a pretty good size, around 16" long I would guess. The lights on the craft are awesome, it has 2 on either engine in the back, and a red and green one underneath it. I have been buzzing this thing around my house ever since Christmas, it is to much fun. The only thing I would say to perspective buyers is the steering is not dead on precise but it is tons better than the cheap RC copters out there, and is very easy to use.
