Fun and easy to fly with some practice.
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is my first RC helicopter. I started flying it low to the ground indoors on a smooth surface so it could slide a bit, and if it crashed it would not fall far. Start slow to get used to it. Buy extra batteries and maybe an extra charger, 8 to 10 minutes of flight goes by real quick. It is way cool, and can’t wait to to fly it some more, after my (1) battery charges (I will be buying more batteries soon).

This is probably the lowest price you’ll find this helicopter.

Would be fun if it worked

This is one cheap piece of Chinese helicopter junk. Controller lights didn’t work. Controller however did function however only when held sideways. Helicopter only moved backwards despite adjusting the forward/backward trim on the controller. Helicopter was destroyed when controller shut off and started up again on full throttle sending helicopter into a wall.

Controller doesn’t work

My controller doesn’t work as well! I probably got the one sent from the previous reviewer. Very disappointing considering it’s a Christmas present. Glad I checked prior to giving this as a gift. It’s called quality control – the customer shouldn’t have to do it.

Don’t buy this product!
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
If I could give this product zero stars, I would. I gave this helicopter as a present for Christmas. After we charged the battery, we went outside to fly it. The helicopter lasted almost 6 minutes. We tried to land it and apparently our landing wasn’t gentle enough and parts started breaking off. I called XHeli and basically the rude salesperson said that their policy is that if you use it, even for 1 second, and it breaks, it is the customers fault. No refunds. No exchanges. Don’t waste your money and time. Buy a different company’s product.
