Pros: Build quality at first seems cheap but this is deceiving as the material is very light but surprisingly strong. Blades retract and are VERY tough, i doubt the blades will break at all, and if they do, another set comes included! WHAT! The IR control has good range and does well. For this price you'd be stupid to buy anything else for another store

Cons: Battery life is acceptable but can feel a bit short but I'm still very happy.
Trim needs adjusting somewhat often but not to bad.

Other Thoughts: I was worried that this 3 channel helicopter was so cheap that it would be junk but i am pleased its very high quality. It seem the makers are enthused about their product instead of just being in it for money.
I actually modified the controller a little to be able to take a wall adapter and charge the heli from the wall. This isn't hard to do as long as you have a 7-9 volt wall adapter around.

Bottomline: I don't regret buying this and i may buy another.
