Consider this a $65 helium balloon. I had this for 3 days. Day one and two were great! We only flew it inside to get used to the controls. On day three, we took our expertise outside because there was no wind. After about 30 seconds of good flying, it just flew away... literally. Once it got to about 6' off the ground, I controlled it to descend and land. But the helicopter had a mind of it's own and continued to climb to an estimated 300 feet and drifted 1/4 mile away in a matter of 30 seconds. We finally lost sight of it. Just...Gone! The pure shock on everyone's face was worth the $65. A bunch of us started looking at the reviews and found that this happens way more than it should. I was embarrassed I didn't read these before buying it. I'm eager to buy another helicopter. But I won't buy this one. Sorry to anyone who got hit on the head or who's car got dented when this thing finally came down... somewhere.Photo is of parts that didn't fly away.

Like many here I was frustrated - the helicopter would not take off. From the reviews I thought I had another defective battery. It comes with 2 batteries, I tried them both - leaving them charging even past when the USB turns blue.I would get the remote "paired" to the helicopter - push left button which is supposed to be the up button. The rotors would spin about 5 seconds and then stop. The product advertises "1-key" take-off, but there is nothing in the directions about how to take-off. So I assumed it was just the left up button. Finally found the trick on another review site - after pushing the left button up 1 time to start the rotors, you must release and push the up a second time - then it takes off!Once I figured this out - very happy. It flies great, very stable and responds well to the controls. Kids (and Dad!) having lot of fun with this - just wish the directions would have clearly stated the take-off procedure.

We bought this RC helicopter after using an RC drone of a similar cost and size and wow, this is WAY MORE FUN. And it grabs much more attention by passer-byers also.100% assembled. You are ready to go out-of-the-box. Simply charge the helicopter (Note, an additional battery and screw driver to open cover are included) and add 4x AA batteries (not included) to the remote control.The parts and product seem sturdy and well built. Not flimsy whatsoever. The frame is built of alloy which is lite weight and strong. The controls were easy to understand.The target age range for this would be young teens on up. And at least a “beginner plus” level of experience with at least some cursory understanding of how RC remotes work. Example, in an RC car you turn left/right go left/right. In RC drones/helicopters you spin left/right to the preferred direction then press forward to go that direction. Easy to understand once you get the concept.Controls provided a stabilizer which is quite helpful compared to the drones/helicopters of yester-year. Thus, I spent less time finding stabilizing points and more time flying around. There is also a slow and a fast speed which is a great feature allowing you to get good at the controls and then, once comfortable, advance your skill.Product size is about 3 male fists together. Blades were soft and not overly dangerous. Because this is built to be a lite weight product the wind DOES impact performance. I would suggest nothing more than a lite wind when flown outside. On one full charge we kept this in the air for just over 10 minutes. This is actually better than I expected given the size and price point. The additional battery was a great added plus to extend the fun.All-in-all I was quite impressed with this product. I am purchasing another one for my father-in-law as a Christmas present.
