"My nephew is a sweet, smart child with great interest in the outdoors and science. But, most of his time, during the heavy snow season, he plays video games. At holidays and birthdays, he always asks for video games. But, this year I got him this helecopter and WOW! He told my mom (I live in another state), that he likes this better than video games...quite a compliment!"

"I bought one, took home, tried to use it and it would not charge, turn on or do anything. I took it back and got it replaced. Because it was a gift for a grandson, I decided to try this one out to make sure it would work. After putting in new batteries and charging as told in the instructions, I tried it out. It would not lift off, and would only turn wildly to the left while sitting on a table top. pressing the trim buttons as instructed did nothing. It will still not lift off. nothing seems to work except the blades do turn. I want my money back."
Pros none

"We now have three of these helicopters. We love them. We've bought other brands over the years and none have held up likes these have. We have a toddler, teenager and a grown man who fly these helicopters almost daily and we've not lost one yet. We've had more expensive ones die after just a couple weeks from all the abuse we give them. We bought one at first, and after we learned that we just couldn't destroy it no matter how many walls we flew it into or how many times the toddler threw it across the room, we bought two more."

"Bought this for my husband for Christmas. It took him several days to get used to the controls - it takes very small movements. Now that he has a feel for it he absolutely loves it....plays with it constantly. This is not for a child as the helicopter has delicate parts and easily crashes. Recommend using in carpeted areas but it takes off better from a hard surface (box, book, table). The battery doesn't stay charged long - it will only fly for 5-6 minutes at a time but battery recharges in 20 min. Would definitely purchase again. Hubby loves it!"
Pros Fun, Cool Lights
Cons Takes a few days to get a feel for the controls

"I purchased this gyrocopter for my adult son for Christmas. He loves it! It works much better than the cheaper ones I had gotten for him and his brother last year. The lights on it are really cool, and it flies and handles much better. This one actually hovers and banks, unlike the cheaper ones. Getting it on sale, it is well worth the money!"
Pros Fun, works great
