« don't expect anything »

Maybe my expectation is too high on this toy; After got to play 2 charges, here is my conclusion.

Neg. point 1:
The remote is too big; it's huge. I think because they want the remote to act as the charger, and because of that it takes 6 AA battery to run the little remote, so the Huge Remote is Huge inconvenient to me.

Neg. Point 2:
It is rather hard to control the fight because the remote is hard to control the remote. There are basically 2 controls to this toy: left one is the accelerator and right one is the up/down and turn right/left. For the left accelerator, it takes half way to turn it on and when it gets to half way, it become very sensitive to and accelerate very rapidly. For the right directional control, little wiggling will do the work.

Neg. Point 3:
The 3 channel thing in the remote is fake because there is no changing channel control on the helicopter itself.

Neg. Point 4:
It takes 60 Plus minutes to charge this little battery inside the helicopter for about 5 minutes of fight. what kind of charging technology is that?

Neutral point 1:
The helicopter is build mostly with cheap plastic but I did clashed more than 5 times and nothing has broken yet.

Neutral point 2:
The inside is opened, so you can see the gear and main chip, Okay if u don't play with it in a sandy place.

Pos. Point 1:
This thing will fight well and pretty stable in a way.

Pos. Point 2:
In normal use, this toy will last for sometimes, so I think the build quality is pretty solid.

It is fun and worth every cent, but after all this is only a 5 dollar made Made in China little toy.

« fantastic! »

Works as described. Very detailed and quality construction (of course for the price!). As long as you use it indooors, it can help teach flying these type of helicopters and even after few gentle crashes (and you can have that by simply throttle down to 0 as soon as you see a crash happening)! Go now Enjoy your heli!

« Perfect little machine. Perfect customer service. »

AWESOME Helicopter!
Here's a few things I learned.

1. You can't fly this in bright outdoor sunlight. Sunlight affects it.
2. After a hard crash the helicopter turns off. It's a safety feature. If the light under the nose is off, turn the helicopter "off" then "on" again and it will reset.
3. The rear rotor only spins when the helicopter is directed to fly forward or backward. Don't expect it to turn all the time.
4. Xheli's customer service was top-notch. I sent e-mails with my questions and they quickly and patiently addressed them.

Overall - awesome helicopter. You'll be impressed (and intimidated when it's at eye level) as it moves with perfect precision. Yes, perfect!

« really fun toy »

They sell similar mini RC copters at our local mall for around $75.00. I just couldn't spring for that much on a hit or miss toy. Then I found this one on Amazon.com and figured for $30.00 I'd risk it and I'm very glad I did.
This thing is a real blast with a short learning curve. Make no mistake this is a toy but it's very durable. After plowing into a wall a few times and flying into the ceiling it holds together well. I didn't need to buy the replacement blades but there nice to have handy in case it gets stepped on or some other tragic event.
My one and only complaint is the short flying time between charges. About eight minutes in my case. I'm already thinking about buying another one so my Son will have one to play with because I'm sure not giving mine up.

« Great Product »

I've purchased about 10 RC helicopters over the past year, primarily the cheaper AirHogs with the Styrofoam bodies. They didn't seem to last more than an hour or so, so I decided to splurge on a more expensive helicopter. I'm not sure if this product was on sale or what, but it wasn't much more than the AirHog and is clearly a much better constructed helicopter--there is really no comparison on the ruggedness.

I was a bit surprised to see that it was an infrared wireless rather than RF, though I suppose I shouldn't have been. The description doesn't explicitly state IR, but if it doesn't say RF I should assume it's IR. The result, as some have noted, is occasional erratic behavior under florescent lighting (I use CFL quite extensively around my house).

It is very stable and easy to hover. Very good for beginner flyers like me. The downside to this is maneuverability. Overall a very good product for the price.
