DEERCRemote Control Helicopter, 3.5 CH Altitude Hold RC Helicopters w/Gyro for Beginner, 2 Shells LED Light One Key Take Off/Landing, 2.4GHz Aircraft Indoor Flying Toy for Kids Boys Girls

At this price point, this is a really good value and a great toy. It is the perfect helicopter for someone just learning to fly. It is packed with features and is durable enough to survive multiple crashes (but do try to avoid crashing it). My son got this for me for Christmas because he thinks I am an inept pilot (I am). It has auto take-off, auto-landing and altitude hold. I really like the auto-landing feature and it works very well. The auto take-off is nice, but takeoffs are easy & fun, and it has a tendency to drift backward or forward during takeoff and you have no control until it reaches its hold altitude, so I would rather have a manual takeoff feature, but it’s not a big deal. Auto takeoff would be better for young beginners anyway. It is very easy to maneuver indoors. The forward and backward speeds are rather slow. This is a good thing indoors, but outdoors that means that even the lightest breath of wind will blow it away. So if you want to fly it outdoors, make sure the air is absolutely dead calm or you will be retrieving it from a tree.It has survived a bunch of unintentional crashes and collisions with no damage, which is quite impressive. I have had several much more expensive helicopters and quadcopters that were easily damaged. Some reviewers complain that it loses control near walls or ceilings. That is no fault of the helicopter, it is the way helicopter aerodynamics work. In real helicopters it is called “ground effect” when landing, and pilots need to train carefully for it. But it will happen whenever the helicopter is near a surface in any direction. When the air from the blades pushes against a surface, the lift to the helicopter changes. So when it gets near a wall or ceiling, beware that it is going to change its direction or speed.It has a 3-month warranty and customer service is very responsive. I contacted them near the end of the warranty period to find out how to buy a replacement battery and they had no hesitation in sending a free replacement.

This is a great value for the money. lots of fun.first the good:1.Battery life is pretty good for these small RC copters. About 6-10 mins per battery2.Two batteries makes it fun for longer3.SUPER easy controls that make it more fun to play with4.Durable. I crashed it a few times pretty bad and it shook it off without issue5.Good size low price6. pretty quiet compared to othersThe Bad.1. Absolutely zero instructions. You are left to figure everything out2. Battery has zero indicators to let you know its done charging. you gotta guess.3. slow. Ive had a few of these and they tend to move forward a lot faster. this one is made for control not speed.4. can be affected by any kind of breeze, mine got stuck in a draft at a doorway.5. Doesn't stop when it crashes so it continues to flop around which could damage your chopper or your floor. i learned to quickly press the landing button when it crashes.6.connector to battery is kind of delicate. be careful removing and inserting battery.7. Not super responsive controls so think ahead to where you're going. (this is minor and you wont even notice if you haven't had more expensive models before.thats it. Its super fun and if they would add some simple instructions and a light on the battery to know when done this would be 5 stars easily. worth the money at the price point I bought it at. Would have easily paid more.

Fun fun fun. I have crashed it a lot and nothing broke. Hovers great, easy to control. Inside use only. Doesn't do good if there's a breeze.
