Pretty good for the money.

I was surprised at how much fun this was for the amount of money it cost. It is very small and light, you do need to be patient with it as you will need to spend time trimming it so that it doesn't spin madly. It does need to be trimmed every time it is used but once you manage to figure out how much power to give it, it works quite well. I don't think you will every have absolute fine control over its flight - for that you need a helicopter with a lot more channels but you should manage to get it to move around. It is quite robust aswell, I have hit mine around a fair few walls and nothing is broken so far. You get a decent amount of playing time about 8 minutes (this was not continuous use as there were a number of crashes in that time) out of one charge. For a bit of fun it is well worth it, if you are after something serious to be able to control exactly where it goes you will be disappointed. Personally it is worth about 10 -12 pounds but not anymore.
Difficult to fly.

The trouble with this is that it is very diffiult to get the trim correct - and when you have the battery drains quite quickily which means the rotors turn slower so you have to adjust the trim again!!
Most of my time playing with this involved trying to get it not to crash into everything! Get a better (and bigger) one if you really want to fly one and not just mess about with.
great

Really small, great battery life, easy controls, looks good.
Until i accidently flew it out the window when it was raining, now it does not work, but its £10, money well spent
