What is Bulk Rate? BulkRate is a semi-wholesale system with items priced separately from retail. When you use bulk rates, a flat $1.70 registered air mail fee will automatically be added to your cart to ensure delivery of package. While BulkRate's intention is to offer cheaper prices when you buy in bulk, because it is priced separately it on occassions show a higher than retail price. That's why we ask you to enter BULKRATE as a coupon code to manually activate the rates. You can always opt not to use the bulk rates. If you are looking for wholesale prices please feel free to contact us.

Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Much, much more stable in flight than similar ~$25 3Ch choppers making it much easier to control with some sort of precision. On other non-gyroscopic models you spend more time just trying to keep it stable leaving little time to actually fly back to the coffee table or to scare the cat. This model sits in midair almost by itself. L/R trim is easier to adjust and stays set for several flights. Several quick and easy charging options with a charger included. Spare blades also included. Screwed structural components mean any loose bits can be refitted. Fairly robust despite its weight and size - if treated with a little care. E.G. Avoid hitting things with power full on and damage should be very rare.
Cons: Blades can be chipped or broken if you insist on powering out blindly from under tables and chairs. Found out the hard way with other models. Pick it up - don't be lazy and it should be OK. So far I've only bent a rear rotor, but it bent back into shape OK without cracking, glue or blade replacement ... phew! Charging cycle and indicator light(s) badly/not described in instruction sheet. Nor is the power-on Tx/Rx synching sequence ever explained (thankfully I'd encountered a similar ON/synch on a larger chopper). At power-on it apparently requires a few seconds and/or 2 - 3 full throttle deflections before the remote actually assumes control.
Other: This model certainly works for me - and much better than expected. Lots of fun - great value.

Pros: Good entertainment toys for both children and adults. Russian manual was not, had to look for, without it could not started. fun flying, pretty long. feel child. bought nephews.
Cons: Very fragile and unreliable more thing .any upper counterweight broke in the third flight. As broken down and absorbed mounting. batteries have enough for 5 minutes. To the management to get used very long. I could not get used. After some time ceased to work rear rotor. It was necessary to disassemble away wire. For a small apartment just not an option. The price is also not arranged.
Other: In the end, what I got: a toy for 30 minutes, almost for 30 dollars. Only broken, nothing more. I did not like to buy more and more reliable. Or invent protect. it would be better in the kit was opposed to the spare blades, they are not needed.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Price and easy to fly. The better is the stable on flying. Can hit multiple times without breaking. The pieces seem quite malleable, even though they are looks fragile. The buttons are good to use. The package comes in very good state.
Cons: Mine comes with defective. Blades rotate but it is only on the floor and don't fly. Just comes with 2 tail blades. Very frustrating that. I bought for my nephew. I called him to open and already playing with the helicopter, but simply did not leave the ground. It triggers all helices but does not fly one bit.
Other: Easy to use.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Good design
Reasonably sturdy when crashing
Easy to fly
Easy to learn how to fly
Reasonably precise control
battery runtime is reasonable
Cons: Didn't last....
USB charger never worked properly but it charges easily off the remote.
Other: If you want something pretty cheap to learn to fly, get it. It's a huge amount of fun getting this working and flying around. It allowed for some pretty precision flying and landing and after getting used to the controls, it was a ball.
I am only sad that it didn't last longer than it did.
