Never could get it off the ground. Starts up and when you fly it spins replaced blades and it still spins. Not happy with the amount spent for what you get there are better options in this same price.

This is the same heli they use in the military to fly into buildings and locate the bad guys. Super fun and incredible value.

The tail motor was bad at arrival. Had to replace the tail rotor motor. Also, the main rotor shaft had a tendency to slip out of position. After repairs it flies great.

whoever is reading this review, I’m helping you to save you 100 bucks. I just bought this helicopter and it rear tail was not attached I installed it and it was very loose firs start flew off away can’t find it, luckily there was a spare (what a relief) Then Helicopter Rotor Blade chopped off the wire giving signal helicopter to fly.Battery dies in 5 minutes.Now i have a total malfunctioning helicopter into the garbage. itsa too much of a hassle to return.instead of throwing in to trash i am placing it on top of my HG truck as decor.iI am so so angry argh#%^If you are Masochist go ahead and buy it.You’ll be sorry. I am out of $100 bucks.

First one out of the box smoked from the flight controller and died immediately after connecting the battery. Second one arrived with a broken tail rotor, but it did fly after replacing it. The heli was difficult to control with the stock remote, it would not bank left and often failed to respond accordingly to inputs. I bound the heli with a Radiomaster Boxer and it flew better, but not great. Still has issues banking left. I have checked controls and recalibrated multiple times and had the same issue. MotionRC was great through the RMA process on the first dead model and made sure I was taken care of. I’ll definitely order again, but I would not recommend this Heli.

Right out of the box I knew I was going to have issues with this bird, the tail rotor was broken and laying in the bottom of the box. Ok so no problem there's an extra included, put it on and fired it up and all it would do is spin in circles.Support answered my ticket pretty fast so kudo's for that and they told me to take it back off and flip it to the other side, that fixed the flight.Moving on to the camera, it came cockeyed in the picture that shows on your cell phone, tried to adjust it and got it close enough to use. Still a crooked video blows and the main reason I'm only giving it 3 stars.Flew around for about 15 mins or so inside and out and that was decent flight, nothing like the stability I get with my FW 450 v3 but it's easy enough to fly.Can't use your phone for control/video if you're using the included controller which also blows. It's one or the other.For the price it's a decent purchase just don't think you're going to get top quality. It is pretty tough I'll say, inside a/c kicked on when I was right next to the intake and it smacked the wall then the floor, no damage at all.
