Many, many years ago I owned a toy helicopter game called "Vertibird", where you could fly a helicopter on the end of a long plastic arm in a circle, supposedly in order to thwart some escaping criminals whose getaway car was handily fitted with a large hoop which your aircraft could grab hold of. It was brilliant, but it was more fun to just fly it around and around in circles over the lounge carpet.
Anyway, this weekend I bought one of these helicopters and memories of "Vertibird" came flooding back. It's a sturdy little thing, made of metal whereas other similar helicopters tend to be plastic or polystyrene, and it looks fantastic. Once the box is opened you'll find the helicopter, the controller (which requires six AA batteries - not supplied), a USB lead for charging the helicopter from your PC (more on this in a moment) and a single sheet of instructions which, although written in somewhat fractured English, tell you all you need to know.
Once the batteries are installed into the controller you need to charge the helicopter itself. There are two available methods. The first option involves connecting the helicopter to the controller via a short cable which is stowed inside a compartment on the edge of the controller itself. Plug this into the helicopter and switch the controller on, and wait 40-50 minutes until a red light on the unit turns green. This obviously drains the batteries in the controller. The second option is to charge the helicopter from a PC using the supplied USB lead. Either way, a full charge will give you just under ten minutes of flying time, which is actually fine, and seems plenty.
So, what about flying? It's actually very easy to fly.... Read more ›

This little helicopter is beautiful to look at even before you get it into the air. The quality of design is stunning and it is very well put together. I had a cheap remote helicopter previously and it was almost impossible to control. With the built in gyroscope this one could not be more different. Control in all directions is sharp and crisp . Even from the start you should be able to fly this one safely without any problem after a few minutes practice.
Being able to charge it from USB is a great idea. The one I had previously had to be charged from the remote control unit which was an extra drain on the batteries. As the previous reviewer stated the charge time is quite long and the flight time limited - it's a nuisance but you do get used to this after a while.
A word of warning is to not even think about taking this machine outside. Unless it is a very dull still day the i/r remote control will lose contact and the copter will fall out of the sky, or it will get blown away as it is just not powerful enough to work against any form of breeze. Digressing slightly its quite good fun to set up a fan indoors and see how your piloting skills cope with `turbulence'.
If you are like me and never quite grew up then this is absolutely a must have! Even if its only to drive the missus nuts.

When I was a kid these kind of things would have cost a months salary, which is why although I am far to old I can finally afford to relive my youth. I bought a cheap sub £20 rc helicopter a couple of years ago which was fun but you couldn't really control where the thing went, so when I decided to treat my self to a new one for only just over £20 I wasn't expecting the earth. I was blown away when it came, it's beautifully made, extremely stable in flight and heaps of fun. My only concern would be how this can be sold for this money, who is making them and how much are they being paid?
I definitely recommend this product, it's awesome!

got this for christmas. instructions easy to follow. charge took 40mins ): i was suprised how long. after charging the flight is brilliant and realy stable, you can fly it anywhere indoors and anyone can fly it. although brilliant flight charge runs out after about 7 mins which is a bit of a flaw but you can make up 15 miniuts if you leave it an extra ten minuits to charge. screws on the stabalizers on top occasionally come loose so have to tighten often.
good flight allowing me to chase my family around the house and be a genaral annoyence. brilliant for first timers in rc helis and worth the money.

Surprisingly robust and will handle most crashes from ceiling height. blades are plastic so they will get damaged if hit something long and thin while spinning.
Able to control surprisingly accurately with practice!!!

I just bought this helicopter (not from Amazon) and I love it!
I have some other electric helicopters 4chs, 6chs, 2D, 3D; but this is the most easy and stable to fly!
With just 01 finger it will fly up and down, and stay hovering without any changing of its position and with no need to do any correction! Then, if you use the right stick to forward, backward, right and left turns, you can fly it anywhere in your leaving room.
My children love to "catch" it with their hands and release it after. It is very safe and if it hit them, it wont harm them.
The battery is good to fly around 9 to 11 minutes and it will take some 50 minutes to get a full charge. That's why it got just 4 stars, because you have to wait 50 minutes of charging to have 10min of fun.
The idea of recharging the helicopter on its own remote control is very good, because of the portability and it doesn't really drains too much of the remote's batteries at all. I've been flying for 03 days with the same cheap branded alkaline batteries with no sign of lowering them. Anyway when they finish, I'll replace them for normal rechargeable batteries.
It is very durable as well. I've had a few crashes and drops. My children under 6, are always catching the helicopter with no care at all and it still survives! Nothing broke down yet and it keeps flying beautiful.(just luck I suppose)
The price if very good and, if it happens to break or stop to work, it would not be a great loss.... Read more ›

This product didn't work properly. The remote control only had power sporadically so wasn't able to transmit a signal to the helicopter with any reliability. Read more
