I have tried several different brands of RC helicopters and in my opinion SYMA makes the best. Otherwise brands were hard to control and just not as fun. With this helicopter you can make obstacles to fly threw, chase the kids, and land this thing on a coaster. Every time I fly this around the office a work everyone else begs me to give it a try. That being said i let them all try it only becase i have crashed this thing it everthing it it juat keeps going. Super fun, has a pretty long fly time and recharges fast. I don't know of many other products that you will has as much fun with for the price. Great buy, everyone should have one.

I did NOT receive this product at a discount OR for free. I used my own money to buy this and I would do it again and again.

This is a really fun easy to fly helicopter for all ages.

Pros:
1. It is small. A little bigger than my hand and about 3-4 inched tall.
2. It has a cool look. It looks like a US Army helicopter.
3. It is super durable. How do I know????? I have crashed it MANY times and it still works great!
4. It has super cool lights that light up its travel path.
5. It lasts about 5 minute per charge. Then it take s about 30 minutes to charge it fully.
6. It comes with a charging cable that lights up red when it is fully charged.
7. It has up/down capability on the left joystick
8. It has left/right and forward/backward on the right joystick
9. It has a charging cable built into case if you do not have an electrical outlet nearby. I really like this.
10. the remote is very substantial and it has great range for anywhere in your line of sight indoors.
11. It has a balance bar on top that ensures it flies level and straight.

Cons:
1. I just wish the charge lasted longer than 5 minutes.

Other than that I love this and recommend to everyone!!!

check out my video to see how it flies. Remember I am no expert.... YET!

Also for a lot more fun, Imrecommend the helipad landing pad in the video. It is really cool and adds an element of skill to it. It is fun trying to land it properly on the helipad.
Here is the link for the helipad on Amazon...

I did receive this item at a discount for my honest and unbiased review.

If my review was helpful to you please click yes below, I would appreciate it.

Awful experience! We ordered this as a Christmas present. It looked like it was going to be good. We charged it, and then wrapped it up for Christmas day. Unfortunately, it never took flight. Everything seemed to be working right, but it just wouldn't get off the ground. It was a total downer on Christmas morning for my son. He was devastated with this grounder.

Customer Service was also terrible. We purchased this during a Black Friday sale. The company would only refund the purchase, not replace it. This was no use for my son who was truly disappointed.

I wouldn't recommend this copter.

As others have noted, the Syma indoor copters are pretty sturdy. It is fun to fly indoors and easy to control. Purely by accident, I discovered just how resilient the little copter is while flying it around the room and not noticing my cat stalking it. Flying only a few feet off the ground, it passed his hiding spot. He jumped from cover and promptly swatted it out of the air...hard. Once the shock wore off and my laughter stopped, I checked the cat and the copter. Both were unharmed and functioning properly.

very nice and detailed aircraft. easy to fly. i took it apart and removed both LED bulbs and wirings to conserve battery life. i also removed the counter balance weight in the tail section. by doing so it shifted the weight to the front of the craft and now it flies much faster than before. will buy it again once this thing runs out of its service life. good product fast delivery from seller.
