Not as ‘toy like’ as I was lead to believe…

My wife bought one of these little monsters as a Christmas present for me. I pulled it out of the box, ignored the instructions and flew it (flailed around about a foot and a half in the air actually) in the bedroom over the bed for about three minutes until the factory charge on the battery went flat. I then decided to read the instructions while the battery charged. The instructions provided are moderately ‘encrypted’ by loose translation, but answered a few questions.
I flew the machine a second time and had some issues with rotor torque or something causing it to spin without input from the remote. I made the adjustments listed in the instructions and the machine flew flawlessly after that. The potentiometer listed in the instructions is a small white surface mount type on the forward right hand portion of the circuit board (looking from the rear). It helped to snip away part of the plastic shield over the board (I assume a radio freq. shield and mirror for the disco l.e.d. that flashes during flight) to reach it and I had to remove a good deal of wax locking compound. A 1/2 turn down (right) fixed the torque spin problem and all was well in the world.
My piloting skills and lack of good judgment have lead to numerous crashes and near disasters. Free falls from seven to eight feet and impacts with every thing from tables and chairs to ceiling light fixtures have only yielded a bent skid and one blade change (blades are readily available and cheap about 6$ a set). I would recommend this ‘copter to anyone as a result. It is quite advanced beyond the tiny plastic tossers and has very sensitive controls. Outdoors it soars to great heights and with the additional ‘elbow room’ the sensitive controls make flying a little more free and easy.
There is a slight issue when you’re about half way through the battery charge – forward or backward control inputs will drop the main rotors power and require some ‘up’ input. This is not the normal loss of lift associated with tilt on a heli, but some apparent function of the tail rotor drawing juice from the mains. I had to ‘bend’ the tail rotor straight after a particularly tough landing so perhaps this is causing the additional draw and resulting issue.
If you’re looking for an ‘out of the box’ toy then look elsewhere – if you want something with more of a ‘hobby’ feel, super rugged design and power then this helicopter is for you. It flies outdoors very, very well due to it being a little heavier and more powerful. It requires a good deal of patience but you’ll be rewarded with months of enjoyment from a toy that is not quite as ‘toy like’ as you’d think.
I would complain about one tiny thing…the disco light. why? flashing lights I understand – but multicolored disco lights on a helicopter don’t make much sense…how about just nav lights?
Looking for parts for the Alloy Shark helicopter. Blades landing gear etc. Help?
Great Helicopter for Beginners

I purchased this helicopter for my fiance for Christmas and he LOVES it! This helicopter in my opinion is very durable and worth every penny. It is advertised as an “indoor” helicopter but we have used it outside and if it isn’t too windy, it works great. I read past reviews where people have said negative things about this product and I couldn’t disagree with them more. We have slammed the helicopter into the wall many times, got it stuck and entagled in a palm tree (lol) and it still works like new. I would recommened this product to anyone and everyone, especially first timers.
great but has weak spots and not controlable
