Pros: - Very fun to fly
- Easy to fly
- Can take multiple crashes
- Easy to repair/exchange parts
- Battery on helicopter lasts long
- Battery on charger lasts forever
- Does need a lot of operating space
Cons: - No gyro
- You need to constantly adjust the trim during flight
- The teeth on the gears are prone to break
- Impossible to use outdoor
Other Thoughts: Probably one of the best items I have bought for the last few years (when it comes to toys). You can fly this again and again and you do not get bored.
Bottomline: Good buy. Easy to fly. Cheap. You will not regret buying this item.

Pros: * Very easy to control - you really only have to trim the right/left movement - then all you need to think about is height (throttle)
* Comes with a few spares and extras (rudder propeller, main rotor fastner, weights to get more forward movement)
* The kids love it.
Cons: * You need to be careful not to crash, as this helicopter doesn't take a lot of beating.
* Would be nice to have a version with 220V charging.
Other Thoughts: * I ordered two of these, one came in the 27Mhz frequency range, the other in 49Mhz. So I guess you get a mixture. (and not just the 27Mhz as is displayed in images)
* I would order SKU 11041 - replacement parts set, as it will most likly be useful.
Bottomline: * I have bought the Pocket Helicopters from DealExtreme, and compared to the Mosquito - the pocket helicopters are very hard to control. They are however more durable - and take more beating.
* I can recommend this for children age 11 and up. Younger children can sit with parent and do stearing for example - and enjoy the product. However I would not give it to my 5 year old to control by himself, as one hard crash and you most likly need to repair it.

Pros: Good price and nice toy :) East to use. and flying very good. but control is some heavy. i'm learning now :)
3 channel. throttle, left-right, forward-backward.
but i'm not using now left-right and forward-backward. only throttle :)
Cons: Built quality is not best. but enough.
Green led's are looking nice.
Mosquito is looking not very good. But flying...
This is "interactivetoy"
Other Thoughts: Needs 6 x C batteries and 1 x 9v battery. it's cost 9$. but if you buy ac charge to docking station not require 6 x c batteries.
Bottomline: I think buy it and happy :D my friends want to buy. but he's don't know dx.. :)
Very good but very short battery
