WAS a Great first helicopter
Like others, i've been wanting a helicopter to fly in the house for a while now. Never wanted to spend too much money either. I wanted something that'll be more durable then those airhogs and not hard to fly. I must say the only adjustment I had to do was tweak the rotation like mentioned in the first section of the manual. That was a 2 minutes adjustment and I was flying. Battery lasts a little less than 10 minutes on what I think is a full charge using the USB cable that comes with it.So far so good. The product arrived yesterday and I only just started playing with it today. definitely worth the money for what you get and then some.** Update ** The helicopter was working great up until 2 days ago. Now it just doesn't charge and of course won't turn on.** Update 2 ** I contacted the manufacturer and they attempted to correct the issue. Unfortunately, they felt the problem was the battery and I received an envelope which was marked by USPS as "received damaged", which was basically an empty envelope. So I contacted Edevillas again and they said they could only attempt to correct the issue once and wouldn't do anything any further. So I opened up the copter and found a cold solder joint. Basically the negative wire from the battery to the controller was broken. Fortunately, I have a soldering iron and was able to correct the issue. I just hope the manufacturer corrects this in further builds. I took a picture but I don't see how i can post it here but I did send it to the seller for his/her info.

Nice size for inside flying
i bought 3 helicopters now. The first one was the larger F series. Too big for inside flying and too small for outside flying. I purchased2 of these because the price was 1/2 that of the same model at the mall. The 1st one however failed on the 3rd charge. The lower blades locked up. I returned it without any problem. Re ordered a new one, all with free shipping.Easy to fly but stay away from walls. It creates air currents that cause minor problems for it's self. With some practice I can land it on tables, TV trays, boxes & the grandchildrens hands. This is the biggest I would go, for inside flying though. LED lights don't seem to effect flying time & are quite colorful.

"it is so awesome" - my 8 year old
it has crashed to the floor, banged the wall, gotten stuck on the ceiling fan, and has generally survived an eight year old boy. it is such a great toy that even if he eventually destroys it we will probably purchase another.the only downside , which is similar to most helicopter toys, is the play time is short. i'd say 5-10 minutes before it needs to be recharged. it does charge quickly. so if you are purchasing it for a young child prepare him/her ahead of time for the short play time.We may even go ahead and purchase another so he can play with one while the other is charging.

Very good quaility and easy to learn to fly
I have had one for sometime for myself. It has been a lot of fun to fly inside and has been very durable. I purchase this one for exclusive use by my 5 year old grandson. I had been sharing mine with him in the past. He is very good at flying it and has learned quickly on the one we shared. Charges quickly and fly's for about 15 min. with light off. You will have to disassemble to change battery which is soldered in. I have not had to do this yet, but don't anticipate it being very difficult.

Very Powerfull and fast, well built !!
This is a very well built helicopter. The ability to charge the helicopter via an external usb plug(included) is very handy and saves the remote batteries. this helcopter is easy to fly and I wish I could take it outdoors with the power that it has, but outsie the IR is affected by light/sun. I highly recomnmend this helicopter. A++

great lil' helecopter
great lil' helecopter. charges fast but flies only about 8 to 10 min. Takes a beating too. Others like this were way too hard to fly, but this on is easy. Well worth the price. I am going to get one for my nephew.

Best buy a more accurate one and pay just a little more
This set wobbles around and aren't accurate enough. One stopped working almost as soon as I bought it

Great present
I bought this for my grandson as I saw it in the mall. He loves it and it is still working after 1 month. That in itself is amazing.
