Great for a first time novice RC Helicopter enthusiast like myself.
Helped a lot preventing crashes during takeoffs and landings.
Depending on your RC Helicopter model & landing gear, you may have to use tie-straps instead of the clips provided to secure this training gear properly as with one of mine the clips kept popping off randomly.
I haven't figured out how to use with RC models that have wheels instead of skids.

The biggest issue I have with this product is that it lacks instructions on how to mount the training gear to the existing training gear, there were no pictures or anything. Putting it together is pretty straight forward, except for trying to figure out the orientation of the 4 mounting clips (again, no instructions, trial and error). The four fiberglass rods that hold the yellow balls come out of the center hub at a slight angle, so there is a question in my mind if the yellow balls should be on the ground, causing the rods to flex slightly or if they should be the other way, hovering just off the ground (I currently have it set in the later configuration...works pretty well). I never did get the clips to work or fit well, and had to use a little bit of tape to ensure that the rods stay secure to the existing gear. A few test flights around the living room have resulted in better landings and no tip overs.

This item would be helpfull in saving the little parts of my helicopter from damage if it were compatable with the helicopter I purchased. When I bought the training gear it didn't say anything about compatability or spesifications for usage so when the site sugested it I bought it. They DO NOT work on helicopters with wheels instead of landing skids.
