Excellent toy, March 26, 2010

I bought this one to my son on his 4th birthday. Helicopter is absolutely great - easy to control, durable and loads of fun. The only problem is short battery life - but that's expected. Some advise for new users: 1. Do not start on maximum thrust. It is a great toy to teach a child to manage the pressure they apply to a toy. If the thrust is pushed to max then all the copter will do is throw itself into random direction - wall, ceiling - it doesn't have any preferences. 2. Do not start it from floor. I usually hold it with two fingers until my son spins the rotor and then I let it go. If you try to start it from floor it will loose balance.

Pretty fun but needs a stronger battery. Only lasts 5 to 7 minutes and then you have to charge for an hour.
