6 year old and I each got one for Christmas. Both learned how to fly it pretty quickly. Small enough that it can fly in the house and durable enought to take several crash landings. We are having trouble keeping the heli's and remotes seperate. They have different channels, but every once in a while there is a signal mix up and one remote operates both heli's. Limited Funciton on Con list refers to not being able to fly backwards and sometimes a fresh battery creates so much torque that it is hard to get the heli to turn when wanted. Short lived oroblem as the battery flattens out after a minute or two and full steering is restored.

First, it is fun to fly. However, it took me awhile. I'd try to fly off the floor and would immediately crash. I finally started holding it in my right hand and throttling with my left and was instantly taking off and navigating around the house. Battery life of the helicopter is terrible. Five minutes max and it runs out of juice. This would be much better with a DC charger and a larger capacity battery. Five dollars more for those components would be worth it.There is no way it is controllable to 80 feet. I tried it outside on an overcast day and would lose control at about 20 feet and the copter would take off on its own to about 50 feet high, stop, and plummet to the earth. Also impossible to fly with even a slight breeze but that's ok because it's so light. Forget flying in bright sunlight. Immediately no control. I'll have to get one with a gyro so I can hover and bank. A friend was given one from [@] that cost [$], takes off vertically, and hovers (no more left). So it can be done for a low price point. This could be sold at the same price with a DC charger. Double the battery for a little more. That would make it a 4

Comments about Phantom II RC Helicopter:
I bought this to amuse myself after my brother received the fighting version (featured elsewhere on the site) as a gift. It turns out that this tiny little thing is the perfect size for my cat, who chases it like it's doused in catnip. Hilarious good fun and I only wish I had a camera to put it on youtube!
It's got a pretty good battery for the size, but in this case that means only about ten minutes of flight time per charge (max). Still, it's fun enough that I don't mind having to put it away often.

Comments about Phantom II RC Helicopter:
I bought two of these helicopters for my sons. One of them worked and the second did not. If you have children you know what fun that can be. Anyway, the return/exchange policy was simple enough though it took several weeks.
That said, both helicopters work great--much easier to fly than others I've bought.

Comments about Phantom II RC Helicopter:
The grandkids loved it when they opened it from under the Christmas tree. It was one of the first Christmas gifts they wanted to play with. We put in batteries, assembled it (easily), and took it outside for a test run. It took off, flew all around with the grandkids very excited, crashed and broke. End of helicopter. And a new record for quickness in breaking Christmas gifts. I'm not sure if this was an aberration, an operating error by my grandson or the helicopter simply isn't durably constructed.
