Pay no attention to anyone who says this thing is hard to fly. Sure, there is no way you will just pick it up and off you go - first time, you'll be lucky if you can keep it at a steady height pointing the way you want to be, but persevere. After a few days, you start to get the hang of it, and now I can chase the cats around the room, 6 inches above the floor. Epic fun!

It isn't particularly fragile either - mine has survived countless crashes (e.g. cat goes under low chair) and still lives to fly another day.

Had fun at first trying to fly it but eventually realised that if you are really going to get it flying well, you'll need a lot of time on your hands, we never got the knack. After a while it started to spin and sway a lot making it impossible to even hover and last of all we found out that it wasn't as tough as advertised- the rotors broke frequently.

Only take notice of the one star review if your under 10 years of age, or you have no attention span what so ever!!! If your used to playing flight sims on a PC, or have a delicate nature then this chopper really does behave just like in the movie footage. Just after 20 minutes and taking time to read the tips included I was performing flights that are easy to control and maintain. Its not for kids, so be warned...just big kids with money!

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! After two flights this thing got sucked into a wall and snapped one of the rotors. It is actually made from polystyrene which you shouldn't be paying £49.99 for. Also this thing is basically a five minute wonder. It's fun for a while but then it sucks. Seriously if you think this is cool... it's not.

I am 29 and my cool Sister and her Boyfriend bought the X-Rotor R/C Picoo Z Micro Helicopter (Red) for my Birthday

So a Couple of Weeks later I ordered the Blade Runner 2 and to say the least, I am really impressed. It flies like a dream after about 5 flights (battery gets stronger and control improves). The only real downside is that the battery is integrated on the circuit board so you cant buy another to charge while your flying the other. One more thing... don't get within 6" of a wall or ceiling or the heli will get 'sucked' into it and probably lose balance and crash. This thing crashes well kids so have fun!
