A LOT of fun for a LITTLE money!, May 9, 2009
Durability: Fun: Educational:
Length:: 0:45 Mins
Just want to say what a great invention this is, and unbelievably FUN for the money! And durable, we've flown it regular for the last 6 months. Ours has had some VERY hard crashes; many of them I thought "It's broke!", but it still flies great. I thought it was easy to learn, just takes a light and steady touch on the throttle, and just a TAP to "steer", that is rotate the direction you want to go. Launch away from walls, the rotor "wash" will pull it in. For the first minute, the power fluctuates some, then, it hits a "sweet spot" for several minutes. I can keep it flying the whole flight time (when one of our cats doesn't knock it down!). Don't be afraid to crash either. If it looks bad, best to kill the throttle and let it fall. Don't fly near people or animals' faces, use common sense; like anything, it could do harm if it hit someone, or something in the eyes. It helps to add weight to the front, a small piece of wire and some tape will do it. I wouldn't push something into the body, as a tack, it could damage the battery. You want just enough weight move ahead slow, experiment! You'll learn to work the "trim"; as the battery wears each flight, when you notice it start to turn on it's own, just a quick TAP the OPPOSITE way on the trim button to compensate will keep it straightened out; dynamic adjustment! One thing omitted from the instruction manual is you have to turn the handset on, to charge the copter. Make sure the copter is "OFF" & cooled down, then plug in the wire, it's small,& sometimes it takes a little wiggle, to keep the green charge light on. When the batteries get too weak in the controller, the red LED will look like it's pulsing, and it may not want to charge the copter. I like using rechargeable batteries in it. Another "hazard" is if the copter gets "out of sight" of the controller, as a fall behind a sofa. It 'remembers' the last command, so if that's throttle, it'll keep spinning until it "sees" the controller again. Just buy it!!!
