Ordered this for my son, well me too if I am honest! It arrived in really quick time as usual for Amazon. The helicopter itself is very light which initially worried me, however, after 20 or 30 quite serious crashes my worries were quickly put aside as I realised this helicopter was a survivor.
My son really enjoyed every second of me crashing this helicopter into plants, walls, light fittings and windows before we decided to test run outside. Outside things were more successful, pick a day with little or no wind, and obviously no rain, and it flies very nicely, provided you have enough space.
There is no setting up required as such, simply put x4 AA batteries (not included) into the remote control, plug the Helicopter (which includes rechargeable battery) into the mains to charge (about 45 mins) and then switch both on and enjoy.
The only negative comment is that this helicopter is really hard to control, I found it would fly off left or right before I had chance to adjust the flying settings on regain control using the handset. I am not sure I would wish to pay full price for this item given the difficulty in controlling, but if you can get an offer then it is good value and great fun.
