I bought this helicopter on an impulse hoping for a bit of fun and to see if I wanted to move up later with a more advanced model. While it was very inexpensive I was impressed to find the package was complete and ready to fly right out of the box. After 60 minutes of charging, the helicopter was ready to go. It’s very stable once the single trim control is set. The package came with spare blades and other parts in case of a serious crash. Although I’ve crashed it numerous times it hasn’t needed any repairs yet since it is fairly robust and nicely constructed (aluminum chassis held together with screws).
This is clearly an indoor model due to it’s light weight. It operates with an IR (not radio) transmitter which may result in reduced range in bright sunlight.
In the air, it is very stable and hovers easily. My only complaint is the flying time is about 5 minutes per charge and there is very little reserve power when the battery begins to run down. Overall it’s very good value and loads of fun for all ages.

This is an excellent rc helicopter for the price. The Li ion battery has a much longer life than previous models. The gyroscopic stability is makes for a much smoother flight. Can’t be beat for the price.

Well, if you’re not sure about whether you will take this up to a more sophisticated level, then yeah, this RC Heli is what you’re looking for. I came into this hobby on a whim; wasn’t sure what was good/bad; just wanted to get started and the price was okay (unfortuantely it was cheaper on Amazon vs. where I ordred it from).
THE NOT COOL! the electronics are fussy. You have to play around with the chanel switches, the lights and throtle to get it to think about moving at times. It didn’t come with the USB charger. However, at other blogs I found out that this was a disadvantage since there was no way to find out when it was fully charged VS when you charge it on the transmitter/remote controller, the light will turn red to let you know you’re ready to fly. DO NOT FLY THIS TO THE POINT WHERE THE CHARGE COMPLETELY DIES!
THE COOL! It’s fun to learn on this. Fairly stable, haven’t had to use the adjusting knob. Accelerates/Decelerates pretty well. Tail Rotar does a good job pushing it forward, but a little unpredictable when you want to move it backwards. Turns circles very well. Just overall, a good learning-to-fly model.
More than anything, it’ll give you an idea of what to expect for what you want in the future and the price on Amazon is way cheaper than what I got it for.

I bought the falcon x – and I’m not sure when it’s fully charged since the light seems to always be red even though the battery seems to be flat (it keeps cutting out during flight). Can I change the LiPo battery to improve flying time?
