These little choppers are seriously good fun. While attempting to learn to fly you will crash, but the little choppers just keep on flying.

Battery life is limited because you charge from the handset. You can however purchase a USB charger over the internet which really cuts down on battery usage.

Landing it is difficult and it crashes often. I used it for 3 days and then the rotor blade broke and you are unable to buy replacements, so the money I spent was not a good investment.
