Don't waste your money. I got 2 flights on this heli and now it doesn't charge anymore. Pros: looks great on a shelf, very cool looking heli. When you first see it, it seems amazing to get such a nice RC heli for under $70 Cons: unreadable instruction manual, fragile rotor blades, flimsy remote, almost uncontrollable - don't try it inside unless you are in a very large room, charger died after 2 charge cycles.
This is my 5th Rc helicopter in the last few years so I do have some flight experience. Maybe I just got a lemon but after reading some other reviews and forums, it sounds like most people don't have much success with this model.

di would put a video up, but it can't get off ground, a bent shaft, perhaps.. outstanding light show , don't get suckered.. a 7.4 volt battery said it all, needs a 11.4 to do it's job.. way way way underpowerd very cool display now;.. it got off the ground, rolled on it' side... cut power before a complete destruction i lost 1 inch off one blade, top rotor.. steering rotors cut it's mate , even .. could not get off the ground.. feel it was repacked, wobble in rotor shaft.. oh ..nice stacic display.. i won't buy repair blades, to fix it.. just awesome init's looks, but a total DUD when flying.. don't buy MONEYS TIGHT.. 7.4 VOLTS , ARE TRICKY MOST ARE UNDERPOWERED ROBERT

I ordered two of these r/c helo's and both were delivered broken. The piece that the tail stabilizer is mounted to was broken and anytime you tried to go forward or backward the rear rotor would smack aginst the housing and then the helo would drop to the ground. I could not get either helo to actually fly forward, they both would either fly backwards or orbit left or right, no matter how much I adjusted the trim. The LED light pods on either side of both helos broke off within minutes of their first flights. The main rotors can take a beating so long as they are not hitting anything harder than a pillow or carpet. Both helos main rotors broke off at the mast. I have been flying r/c helos for a long time and know how to control them (not overcorrecting), but this was a very difficult helo to control. I figured that with the first one that maybe I just got a bad one, but then the other one was just as much a piece of junk as the first.
