Cobra R/C 2 Channel Mini Helicopter - Camo (Colors May Vary)

Durable is the only thing I can say about this product, but I guess it would have to be, since it you couldn't control it whatsoever. It didn't break, but I suspect something was wrong with it before it got here, or it may have been poorly designed....
If you like waiting 15 minutes to charge it so you can watch it go in circles until it crashes for 5 minutes then charging it again for same results....you might like it. I wasn't pleased with this product.

Saw these demonstrated at the local mall and thought they looked fun and a nice gift idea. Found them on Amazon $10 cheaper and ordered. So far, we are 2 for 2 NON-working. I gave 4 as gifts and am waiting to hear if the other 2 are a big disappointment as well. One worked somewhat for two charges and now only flies a few inches off the floor, the other never charged and has never gotten off the ground. Save your money and don't order these duds.

This little model is underpowered and poorly designed. I added small weights to the nose with the aluminum tabs provided to attempt to get the nose to balance with the tail. This did not help and the upward vector of the blades was enough towards the rear that, had this thing gotten off the ground, it probably would have done loops without stop. The upward vector seemed to drive the tail into the ground and there was no way to correct that.
I received this as a Christmas gift and will return it after working with it for only an extremely frustrating and unproductive 45 minutes. This poor little thing never got more that 0.5mm above the floor in my living room.

Save your money. Go to Hobby Lobby and talk to a human who can give you valid recommendations for a...Read more
