  • I can actually fly this.

    posted by csnostra on 16:53:47 G1T 25/01/2010 certificated customer

    Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

    Pros: This heli has the best build quality i have ever seen on a r/c heli of this size and price range.Most of the frame is metalic and the main rotor blades are made out of flexible plastic and after many crashes i can tell that it can withstand a lot of punishment.
    You can actually fly this but you have to be precise with the sticks because it is very sensitive.Another big plus for this model is the usb charging cable which has some kind of circuit with a red led to inform you that the heli is fully charged.
    Pros:
    *Excellent build quality
    *130mah battery on the heli
    *Usb charger with indication led
    *Decent box
    *Trimmer not button
    *The price is very good
    *Spare parts and screwdriver
    *You can fly it

    Cons: *No user's manual
    *It is IR not r/c

    Other: From the momment i brought it home from the post office this pocket size r/c heli gave me tons of excitement and fun.
    Buy it.

  • Okay but the gyro version is the better choice

    Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

    Pros: Price is good. Arrived in fine working condition. Sturdy construction though the trade off is additional weight. Usb charger and extra blades are included. Dual led red/blue switching leds Transmitter works just fine.

    Cons: Nothing major. One of the led headlights had fallen out of the little hole in the body when the chopper arrived. I was able to remove the canopy and put it back in place. I added a drop of glue to keep it from falling out again. Also, the other led looks melted but it works just fine. It if were a bit lighter it would fly for longer. For comparison this weighs approx. .4 to .5 ounces more than a blade mcx.

    Other: Okay but do yourself a favor and get the gyro version.

    Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

    Pros: Everything worked first time out of the box.

    Cons: At the secont hit to a wall (slow hit, not a fast crash), the head which holds the upper blades broke. I found the pieces: it is a T shaped small plastic part, very fragile. Although most of the body is made of metal, this part, which is where most of the energy goes on crashes is made of plastic.

    Other: I recommend SKU.15970 instead, I bought one and it was easier to flight and trim.

    posted by tankd0g on 17:33:17 G2T 12/02/2010 certificated customer

    Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

    Pros: The construction of this heli is great, the lift it generates is amazing, you have to be careful not to slam it into the ceiling. It has some sort of shock sensor that stops the blades when it hits something, that saves a lot of damage. Everything is screwed together with the same size screw and it comes with a screw driver to fit them, you have to check the screws for tightness now and then. Battery life is good and the USB charger doesn't take long at all.

    Cons: It is hard to trim, flying a straight line takes some practice but it is doable. It will always be faster turning one way or the other so you have to be aware of that when flying. It is very slow to go forward, I have found these tail rotor blades make it go twice as fast http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.10808. On/off switch on controller is very stiff, I'm worried I'm going to break it one of these days.

    Other: For the price you can't beat it. I have not tried the one with the gyro but I can't imagine it's any more stable than this one, the problem with these is not stability it is the left/right trim. Hovering this chopper in one place is very easy.

  • This one is great

    posted by arikd on 04:52:31 G5T 06/05/2010 certificated customer

    Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

    Pros: This one is great! My 3.5years old son managed to fly it around. well, up and down at least... but its great fun. comes with spare blades - important as I already managed to break

    Cons: the battery dies too fast - a bigger battery or a replaceable battery would have helped. up and down is easy - getting it to fly around needs a lot of experience

    Other: Great product - Big fun, small price.

  • super helicopter for begginers

    posted by TATTOOQAC on 12:05:20 G10T 25/10/2010 certificated customer

    Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

    Pros: Ok, I was expecting a very tiny helicopter that didnt do much and I got suprised. The quality of the structure is very good. the control also good quality. It brings some extra parts for replacement.

    Cons: The only con I could find is that the instructions are very simple when the thing is... its not that simple to use.

    Other: The bottomline is: GET IT! its cheap, its fun and its great for starters that are thinking on going to a higher catagory latter on.

    Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

    Pros: Tem o rotor muito forte, um pouco dificil pra quem nunca brincou com um destes, mas é extremamente divertido.
    The rotor has very strong, a bit difficult for those who never played with one of these, but is extremely fun.

    Cons: A bateria é de curta duração, mas o fato de poder ser carregado pelo USB do computador torna tudo muito mais prático.
    The battery is of short duration, but the fact that it can be loaded by the computer's USB port makes it much more practical.

    Other: Minha familia gostou muito, meu pai(64 anos) estava ancioso por ver o brinquedo funcionando e até se arriscou a pilotá-lo, minha mãe(45 anos) foi quem obteve melhor desempenho pilotando o helicoptéro.
    My family really liked it, my father (64 years) was anxious to see the toy works and even ventured to fly it, my mother (45 years) who had the best performance was piloting the helicopter.

    Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

    Pros: Strong engine. Quite resistant to falls and crashes. Takes practice to control but generally fair control.

    Cons: It DOES NOT have a gyro. it means that it's quite hard to control it's rotation and trim, especially for begginers. It will often spin fast without you even touching the stick.
    The rear rotor is pretty weak.
    pretty short battery - about 5 minutes of flight.

    Other: It is not bad, but you are really better off buying the sku.32694. same helicopter but with a gyro, costs only 4 dollars more - and great control.
