Buyer Reviews

This is the identical item as Helizone Combat Fighter three Channel Gyro Missile Shooting RC Helicopter but is sold $20.00 more affordable. Go figure. I've bought both.
Here is the review:
I own various helicopters and they are all entertaining to fly in unique strategies. Other reviewers have written good guides about Syma, and I won't waste your time by reiterating what they have said, but I assume the Syma helicopters are better in terms of control sensitivity - My Symas appear to have at least three distinct forward/back and rotate speeds, and this has two that I can tell. The missile function is hugely entertaining. Two cardboard cutouts of tanks are supplied as targets. Wind from the rotors can knock them down, so preserve a bit of distance. Beneficial straight line range of the missiles is about 3 feet, but it's also fun to "bomb" a target from a height.
The controller is pretty nicely constructed, with the missiles getting triggered from buttons situated exactly where your left and proper index fingers naturally sit at the shoulders of the controller. A nice touch is the speed control button, which limits speed to about 1/2 - beneficial for beginners.
My most important gripes with this helicopter is the truth that it is fairly noisy, and the type of plastic implemented for the body shell is slightly brittle - I managed to crack the nose (a really minor point, and doesn't impact the flying). Nevertheless, in a seriously spectacular crash I managed to bend the rotor shaft, causing vibration and even more noise. Spare components are obtainable from the internet site listed in the instruction manual, but are somewhat high-priced when compared to your initial investment ($6.00 per element of the rotor shaft, plus shipping). Here are my observations on this helicopter:
Pros
1) Missiles add a complete new dimension of fun
2) Amazing worth for the cost
three) Fun and stable to fly
four) The rotor throttle manage (controls up/down) is not spring loaded
five) Can charge from controller or the USB charging cable that is included
6) Pretty durable
7) Spare parts are readily available
Cons
1) Plastic shell is a lot more brittle than Syma helicopters
2) Significantly noisier than the Syma 108 and 109
3) Spare components are somewhat costly compared to the initial outlay

I bought this toy for my ten year son. He LOVES playing with it, infact it was the very first Christmas gift he opened. He spent very tiny time studying how to control the helicopter. Infact he figured it out incredibly immediately. Additional blades are provided so if a blade cracks or breaks, it can be replaced.
