Pros: Flies very nice, little hard to trim but then it flies great. Easy to hoover it is stable and you can controll it in no time.
 
Cons: No spare blades, asked DE for them for long time now, with no luck.
 
Other Thoughts: If DE will add the spare's then it will be fine.
 
Bottomline: Very nice, enjoyable until your blade is broken.
First one i had was 2 ch heli, and the 3 ch is much more enjoyable. May be the right choise for fun. it looks like a real heli, my heli is blue so i think they should also add the ability to choose color.

Good like the first R/C helicopter

Pros: This heli is very good to learn to fly, is good like your first heli.
The remote control is very resistant, adjustable in hands and looks goods...
This Helicopter is very very very very resistant. I, when learning to fly, hit and hit and hit this and the heli fall from a big height and this still flying good!!
 
Cons: If you already had an R/C helicopter don't buy this...
The battery of the helicopter is very baaad, when flying for the first time this fly for a long time... but at the third time onward the heli flies for less than 1 minute and then don't up more... ( must load again )...
Is not much stable...  when the helicopter starts to lift, this not lift right and leaves alone of the way you thought.
 
Other Thoughts:  

Bottomline: I think > for the same price or a little more you can buy another much better...  ( Like mosquito, for exemple... )

Much more stable and easy to fly

Pros: Well, this is my second micro-helicopter, the first one, was a two channel, so there is a big difference with this one, with the two channel is very difficult to make the helicopter hoover, but with this three channel one is very easy one you have trimmed the turning
 
Cons: Well, the change is long compared with my other one, and it is difficult to trim it correctly.
 
Other Thoughts: Once you have practised some times, this is easily than others
 
Bottomline: I do not know the other users experience, but this seemb to be solid, i have crashed it several times and is still OK

Cheap flying fun!

Pros: - stable
- easy to learn
- more than 2 channels
- folding rotors (get swung to full extension by centrifugal force)
 
Cons: - only 3 channels
- fairly flimsy body, may not hold up to too many crashes
- landing skids don't look like they'll hold up for long
- quite sensitive to line of sight
 
Other Thoughts: It's fairly stable, and quite easy to have it hover.  3 channels give you the option of forward and backward flight.  The folding rotors is neat, but may be points of failure/breakage.
The landing skid legs/struts are solid enough, but the skids themselves are rather flimsy.  They hold the helicopter, but they bend and flex like brush bristles.  They're also not the same length.  One part of the body popped off its braces after a couple crashes, but that's easily fixed.  Overall, it feels a little fragile.
The helicopter seems quite sensitive to line of sight issues.  It's fairly common to hit the throttle, have it fly past the narrow line of sight, and continue flying at full throttle even if you let go.  Possibly related, but there also seems to be a bit of a delay in response sometimes.
All in all, it's still fun to fly despite the issues.
 
Bottomline: Cheap 3 channel flying fun, but may not last too long.
