I should have saw the other negative review and not wasted my time with this. Its way overpriced, all you are getting is some plastic rods stuck through ping pong balls. I tried practicing ground maneuvers with these on and it was impossible to bank right without it tipping over. The rods flex so badly that it will tip over before the heli would slide right. Also the trainer kept falling off the skids because of the cheap attachment system.

You can build your own for about $2.00. All you need is a 48" piece of 1/4" wooden dowel 4 ping pong balls, 4 thumb tacks, and 8 zip ties. Cut the dowl in half, make a small hole in the balls, insert the dowel into the balls and use the thumb tack through the end to secure it. Then use zip ties to make a criss cross and use 4 more zip ties to secure it to the bottom of the helicopter.

With rigid wooden training legs vs flexible plastic, and with them securely fastened to the heli I was able to learn much faster without it...Read more

This trainer will break after any tough landing. The legs snap easily and they come loose from the base. It is not worth the time it takes to assemble.

One single landing -- not that rough at all, cracked one of the balls, so it now falls off immediately. Worse $20 I ever spent. I bought one for 99 CENTS from China and it lasted longer :(
