This review is from: Syma S018 Aurora Mini 3-Channel Infrared RC Helicopter ---NEW! (Toy)

This is an awesome micro heli. It is durable, neat to fly (flight time ~6-8 min.),and has cool blinking blue/red lights when turned on! This micro heli (like a lot of micro heli's out there)requires constant trim adjustment for straight flight. Trim adjustments makes this heli a bit of a challenge to fly ,but once this skill is mastered it is a lot of fun (for me, if there is not a little challenge to it than where is the fun). I purchased this toy because I thought it would be a cool hobby my boy and I could enjoy together. I was right (where hooked),and have now purchased a Syma "big" S022 Chinook. We are having a blast with both heli's. I would highly recomend this item to anyone curious about RC heli's. This little heli is low priced, a little challenging, and a lot of fun! A great first step into the RC heli hobby. For anyone who wants to know, I purchased my heli (and all my rc vehicles) from Xheli (an Amazon seller). They are pretty awesome, ship fast, and have alway done right by me. Cheers!

4.0 out of 5 stars Can't complain much for the price, June 20, 2010

This is a decent copter for the price (I paid about $20). The biggest problem is trying to hover without spinning. Adjusting the trim to correct this almost never works to get it to hover without any spinning. In contrast, the twice as expensive S107 is amazingly stable and a better flyer, but for the price I paid for this AirWolf, I can't complain much. Fortunately one can learn the quirks of this thing and fly it decently. By always going forward - straight, left, or right, the spinning can be controlled much better.

Also interesting to note, my 3.5 year old is a decent flyer of this aircraft... he only needs some assistance with getting it charged and with the trim control.

I also wish it had USB charging like the S107.

This toy is FUN! Teaches you the basics of how a helicopter works, but is also a ton of fun. I have also crashed this toy A LOT and it hasn't suffered at all. Very durable.
