There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The packaging is simple but the wire holding the helicopter to the packaging can be a little annoying. Nonetheless the helicopter comes assembled so all you need to do is add batteries (6x AA) to the remote controller and in my case I turned the helicopter to the (On) position and it started right up.
This is a 3 Channel Remote Controlled device meaning that you control 3 functions of the helicopter. This is sufficient because it allows you to control lift (up/down), yaw (left/right) and pitch (forward/backward).
I got to observe how the helicopter functions. While knowing already the properties of real helicopters I was curious why RC Helicopters were designed in such a way. The blades collapse freely which helps with protecting them from damage in the event they come in contact with something and the momentum of the motor keeps them extended when operating. The reason for two tier bladed design is to allow the Helicopter to yaw (rotate left/right) by speeding up one set of blades or the other. The knob on the controller also helps trim this function so that the helicopter won't rotate undesirably when flying. The tail rotor which in a typical helicopter helps overcome the rotational force of the main rotor, but in the RC Helicopter it allows the pitch (forward/backward movement). The weighted bar on the very top of the blades balances the helicopter so that it stays level and right-side up.
The construction of this is rather sturdy and for the price I paid ($13 Amazon Warehouse deal) I have no complaints what so ever. This is a fun toy and interesting to play around with. Learning how it flies will result in several crashes but even after some hard hits all I needed to do was adjust the skid (landing gear) because it was a little bent. Replacement parts seem to be widely available and the helicopter does come with 1 spare rear rotor blade. Battery replacements will require some soldering.
I was able to get about 2 minutes of flight time (and crashes) on the pre-charged battery which was a nice little treat. Charging time indicates 45-50 minutes and despite all the colorful lights the helicopter makes when plugged in and having the helicopter (On), it will NOT charge unless the helicopter is turned to the (Off) position. The USB light indicator will turn (on) when the helicopter is fully charged. For the price this is an easy buy for anyone who is into RC stuff and helicopters and you don't have to feel guilty about the price being so low because it's pretty well made.
Flight tips:
Pre-flight checks: Before taking off allow the blades to spin enough to where the helicopter won't lift but you can see whether or not it is rotating left or right. Make your adjustments to the trim knob accordingly until the helicopter remains stable and doesn't rotate. Proceed to fly but you may need to adjust the trim knob during flight as the power levels go down on the battery.
Small adjustments: The adjustments are very sensitive so naturally you will want to over correct when you feel you cannot control it properly. With time and practice you will notice how easily maneuverable and responsive that this RC Helicopter is.
Rotor wash: This is something to be aware of when in close proximity to the ground or an object. The rotors create a downward thrust which gives it lift but when close to an object or the floor this thrust is reflected back up into the blades which can give it unstable characteristics. If trying to challenge yourself and perform landings on various precise locations it's important make very small adjustments and descend gradually.
More than a dozen flights under my belt this helicopter will remain in the air for roughly 4-7 minutes. I haven't had any luck trying to cargo-lift objects so it doesn't have enough thrust I imagine. The Syma S107C Spycam 3.5 Channel RC Helicopter with Gyro (Colors May Vary) I suspect has a more powerful motor which enables it to carry the camera it comes with. Charging time is right around 50 minutes and I use one of those AC USB wall plugs that smart phones typically come with now days as opposed to a computer with no adverse effects. Smacking into the corners of walls, bouncing off cabinets, tumbling to the ground from a 4-5ft drop has done little to scar this helicopter. The landing gear might need a little adjusting from time to time and the blades show very minimal wear considering the abuse. A very well made birthday or christmas gift in my opinion and at this price point you cannot go wrong.
So first of all, I'm having a blast flying this little thing! But it really does take some learning, I still can't quite maneuver it to fly a very far or fast distance without crashing. Anyways, since its complicated and my son is three, I thought I would just always help him fly it because obviously it would be too difficult for a three year old. That worked for about 60 seconds and then he insisted on doing it on his own. Long story short, he ran it strait up into the ceiling (vaulted, HIGH ceilings and then crashing down into hardwood floor), into the walls, furniture, ME, little sister, you name it over and over and over for about 15 minutes until the batteries finally died, finally an end to the madness. Every time it crashed I cringed thinking SURELY it must be broken, until it would effortlessly launch yet again. After the initial excitement of flying his own helicopter and crashing and making everyone around run for cover wore off, he became a bit frustrated that he couldn't really control where it went at all. So he would play(CRASH) with it until the batteries died, charge, wait not so patiently, then go through the exact same charade again, crashing literally every 10 seconds, the time between crashes only as long as it takes a three year old to locate WHERE it landed after crashing into the ceiling fan of a vaulted ceiling, and then set it back up on its feet to take off again.
Anyways, what I'm trying to get to is this, after a few days of crashing like CRAZY, it was STILL working, and by that time he had learned to make it hover at whatever height he wanted it to. He learned how to use a very gentle and light touch to slowly let it take off and he could bring it right up to the ceiling and start to come down right before it would hit the top. Sadly, a week later it did completely die after a random crash. But seriously, all that it had been through, I still feel like I got it at a steal of a price! We loved it so much and were so impressed with the durability that I ordered him another one right away! Now we're months later and this one is still working perfectly fine, since it wasn't the "test dummy" I imagine it will hold up forever. He still crashes it all the time though, just not nearly as much as that first one. Steering is still a very difficult concept, he does try, but for the most part he just loves making it go up and down, he'll raise it up, set the controller down, then play with some other toys underneath, with the helicopter just hovering there by itself. Its so cute and his imagination runs wild with rescue missions and helicopter adventures!
I really feel that this has help my son learn patience and to learn what its like to get progressively better at something we put a lot of time into. Now if I could only have more turns!!
BTW, the second one that we purchased was the "coast guard" version. Which is amazingly fun with all of its blinking lights. BUT the landing "gear" is not as good as this one because it gets bent out of shape a LOT (you know, with all of that crashing) and we are constantly bending it back. That's mostly fine, because its easily fixable, and my son has learned how to bend them back himself, but it would be nice if they were as durable as the non coast guard version. Oh and also on the non-rescue, the wheels are not real, they are just non moving plastic, which he was a little bit bummed about, but no big deal.

Ps- day 2 the top propeller stopped spinning, but just needed to tighten the screw on it (so when you manually turn gear the propeller moves)
