When I first opened it it was brilliant I was amazed I kept crashing it but that was from personal fault does beak quite easily I was already on the last tail propeller after two days but now i have had practice and seen how good it is I would definitly recomend it, what I did find that there was a knack to flying it well so if you are thinking of buying one do so and just practice and have fun. Definite must have.

I love this little Gadget!!!
As soon as i had charged it up, i was outside my house watching it glide around the garden landing it on objects like the sundial, flower pots or my dad's head!
However after a terrible crash with a bird feeder, the little thing only spins in circles before throwing itself to the ground.
I've tried adjusting trim and switching blades, but to my horror there is no improvement.
On reflection i would recomened buying a more robust helicopter, sacrifice the sleek design of the wasp for the rubber and foam cased choppers!
It's a great toy, but it can get damaged rather quickly due to it's delicate design.
If you do buy this take care of where you fly it!

bought this whilst visiting LA last year, the little fella's almost indestructible and although they give you a spare rear rotor blade (that I have misplaced) the only damage ive inflicted to "Henry" is a small dent to the main blade. the battery time is well around 2mins per charge and on that note charing is performed from the control handset via a mini lead that plugs into the chopper at the base. Charger controller take 6 AA batteries and there are three channels to choose from so you can fly with your mates as well. All in all for a tenna you cant go wrong.

Great little Helicopter for hours of fun "be patient and don't give up on it" the trimming is the key to its flight?.

A friend had something similar and it was good fun - So I bought one of these. The WASP is much better quality and well produced. But, all these small models are difficult to get set up. As someone else said if you shift the small fin up or down the tail shaft it does help to balance the forward speed. I changed the tail rotor for a new one bought as a spare and that hugely improved stability.
In summary - great bit of fun for the price - but be prepared to fiddle about a bit, don't expect rotors to last too long after a few crashes and remember its a toy not an enthusiast's piece of kit.

I had never bothered to buy one of the many 'cheap n cheerful' type rc toys that you see on this and various other sites because, frankly you usually get exactly what you pay for, ie £3 worth of packaging, £3 worth of postage £3 worth of taxes and a product worth a whole quid! In this case nothing could be further from the case, this is hard to master, but not impossible by any means, persevere and read the instructions and you will have hours of fun guaranteed.

was hard to fly at first, but with a bit of patience and calibration this helecopter becomes the ultimate flying machine for the price enyway. cool item would recomend to eny1 :)

Bought one on thursday delivered monday, Loads of fun you just need patience with it.

As the title suggests, this helicopter is very cool and a LOT of fun but its not the most stable gadget i've ever come across!

A lot of people have found it not to work properly when it arrives, this may just be down to them being....not very educated, so do NOT let this put you off getting one!

How can you go wrong seeing as its a tenner anyway!
Get one, if it doesnt work, Play.com will happily take it back and send a new one :)

You have to be an expert to fly this thing, it just spins around , if you by it be prepared for extreme dedication, although for £9.99 it's not a bad deal :)
