Got one of these for x-mas this year. I've always wanted a combustion powered model but soon found out crashes are very costly. I started flying mine right out of the box Christmas Eve! Crashed it into walls, floor, tables, even the christmas tree before finally the joints mentioned in the previous review broke too. Once they break it's all over as it can't fly straight any more.
Shipping time is a little slow for parts....ordered replacement blade 19 days ago.....still nothing.
Overall pretty impressive product! Lets just hope I get my parts ASAP!

Fantastic Helicopter to Learn With

This helicopter so far has already been a little wonder and a joy to run, from the first time we powered it up its been flawless in its performance. It charges very quickly and lasts longer than you would expect.
Its foam body recovers from crashes wonderfully and after 4 flights filled with many crashes there isn't a single nick or other indication of damage.
The controller has a nice solid feel and the helicopter seems to respond fairly well.
For a first time unit this will definitely get you hooked and it doesn't require much of an investment.
