Ebuyer reviewers comments:

:
Ok this is an update to my previous review and its as i expected. I paid 69.99 for a similar looking machine from maplins. thats going back for a refund. This IS a 3 channel. up dpwn/left right/forward/back. The photos are not clear but it does indeed have a rotor on the rear.

I have just had mine over the park not minutes ago. it made 100feet altitude in about 3 seconds, but i got scared and brought it down again LOL. These are onsale elswhere for 99.99. dont be tricked by the "this one has different engines" rubbish they are identical I checked today. extra batteries are what we need now Ebuyer. great little buy 5 stars. easy to control from the off. a little l.e.d where the gun should be.



Have seen these things operate in excess the length of a football field, sadly I had more room for going up then away today. I love it. 5 for value 5 for price 5 for stability. 5 stars... yep 5 stars LOVE IT. I think ebuyer should show a better side on picture so buyers can see the rear rota blade 4 stars for that.



Buy this toy you wont be dissapointed at all.

Have fun!!!!!

Looks like a nice toy guv.

In the video it 'look's like the helicopter is spinning whilst flying. Do you know if that is the case or is it stable?

Thanks guv.

Blas.

To be honest, I havent a clue! I would think the 3 controls it has need to be used correctly. In the video, it appeared to have a rotation when it was just hovering, so I would think if it was going in a forward movement, that spinning would stop. It probably works like a gyroscope.... but dont quote me!!!!

These are extremly hard to control at first, the blades are a bit dodgy as well..

However, if you're experienced in flying RC stuff then this is a good buy.

These are quite good fun to fly, they can even lift a pp9 and radio camera for a short period of time (3 minutes or so) they are far easier to fly in-doors as they can be affected by the wind. my suggestion is to buy 2 one to train with and another the fly when you know how, even though they are not to complicated to fly you need to build a certain amount of reactions to prevent crashing.
they are quite resitant to most crashes mine still flies after a 100' or so fall onto tarmac!
still I'm getting better at 'pilot ground interface errors'
overall a great buy at this price and lots of fun (especially trying to fly it from the pilots point of view with the mini camera on board)
