Is it worth the money and easy to fly?

easy to fly, yes. Worth the money, maybe. I suggest you go with the Syma 107 helicopter first. It's $5 cheaper, little longer flight time, and slightly easier to handle.

I think so, but agree with Michael Brandt's reply. I haven't flown the single rotor ones yet (waits for Christmas and my kids), but the dual rotor one is cool looking. The most amazing thing to me is how tough they are. Lots of crashes and still flying.

Good heli, stable havent had any problems except with foward thrust which is an easy fix by simply flipping the switch on the transmitter from slow to fast steal for the price I usedTo fly high end nitro and electric rc helis and planes as a hobby i used to have the 9053 it sucks and broke hence the words used to

This is a complete ready to fly RC plane. It is geared for the new flyer and the only thing extra you might need is a couple more batteries. I would recommend that you learn on a simulator and practice. Have a ball you will enjoy. If you have problems flying the first few times, spare parts are available. So to barrow the commercial, "just go do it".

Yes it is but there are a few things you need to know first. It has limited range. If you go beyond the range limit, it will just fall from the sky and crash. Thats what mine did. No more than maybe 100 feet. It also has limited forward movement. Not to be used in any wind conditions. Battery is small and only gives 5 minute flights if that. Its size is impressive but not great heli. It is toy grade and thats why it is so cheap. Parts are not available at local hobby stores. Better off going to a hobby store for a co-axial heli. Pay more but you have local parts support and help if needed. A better quality heli at that too. Good luck in whatever you decide to purchase.

Odds are will not hover. This is a basic basic quadcopter and nothing sophisticated. Will drift if you let go of the controls.You'll have to spend hundreds for a copter with the extra features and quality. This is great for learning.

Yes this plane is outstanding for a begginer, That was the reason I bought it. I have tried 2 other begginer planes that cost more money and have not lasted half as long. I have crashed a few times and had to use some foam glue(not super glue) to get the plane back to flying but nothing major that needed me to buy replacment parts for the plane. I have nose dived into the ground, hit a fence a few times even hit a tree and the plane is still flying great. The controller is simple and will not confuse a new flyer, the gyro system in the plane is great and will keep the plane level while flying. Hope this answered your question and if you have more feel free to ask VR James

Yes it is ready to fly. All you need is 4 AA and you'll be ready to go. I highly recommend you to buy extra batteries for the heli in order to fly a couple times every time you decide to go fly. Flight time is about 8 to 10 minutes, but full of fun. You might want to look for spare parts here in Amazon and just put them in your wish list just in case you might need them sometime. This is a very nice and easy to learn flying machine. You can see me flying mine in my YouTube channel, Ricardopr54. Look for the MJX-F45 helicopter videos. Thanks for ask.

I'll put it this way. I already own one. I'm purchasing another just because of the kick ass price. crashed it 100x and never broke anything. just remember to power down in case of imminent doom and u should break anything. of course the surface you are "landing" on has alot to do with its durability and mostly i fly over grass. also if you look at the parts, they are all seperate and easy to replace and pretty damn cheap. I had to send mine to helimax right out of the box. the T.A.G.S. was malfunctioning and the transmitter wouldn't always go all the way down on the throttle (bad pot?). anyways they sent me a ups label and had it back to me in no time. I complained that it was my first helimax product and i was disappointed because the heli and the transmitter both were defective but they insisted it was a fluke and upgraded my swash to compensate me for my lost time. that was enough to get my business over and over. They did not question if i had crashed the chopper or not. they took my word for it.

No. This is a collective pitch helicopter. The most advanced and the hardest to fly and quite intimidating to a new pilot. 130x is on sale for 140 bucks. It's also a cp heli but much smaller and cheaper to fix and less intimidating but even this little one is more powerful than any fixed pitch I ever flew. If you're serious about the hobby, either one are great little helis but You will get better faster on the little 130 for the very reasons I mentioned above.

Definitely, this plane is better in the wind than the Champ due to having twin motors, and the Virtual Instructor technology, which automatically keeps it level in wind. You don't have to always fly in completely flat weather, it can handle some wind, nothing over around 5- 7 MPH, it weighs about as much as a deck nail though, so that's a no brainer. It can do loops and can go inverted if you have enough room to come out of it. Great overall plane.

For the price it is good and on the easier side to use. If it is your first one start with an indoor one first. They can be hard to handle outside and this helicopter is really small.

I have this plane and it is great. Full function of aielerons and flaps if you want them. I'm an intermediate flyer and had no trouble handling it.

The modification needed to install wheels or floats is not worth it with this plane. It is fantastic for belly landings in grass, and it is such a great flying aircraft in its box configuration. If you are looking for a similar size aircraft that already has the wheels installed, check out some of the offerings from FMS, available from Motion RC.

It is likely the easiest of the outdoor helis available. However, outdoor air currents require constant compensation in comparison to an indoor S117 that effectively stays rock solid and almost flys itself. I had enough difficulty keeping it trimmed that I decided it wasn't for me, but if you are sure you want an outdoor heli, this is probably an excellent choice.

We still have ours and it works fine. I guess it will depend how well you treat it and what environment you are flying it in. We only fly it indoors. It is fun and the family enjoys it.

i loved my kk2, it was great to learn how to fly. The Dji is amazing at stabilization, gps positionning, the handling has improved a lot.It was a great improvement for me.

If you are now good at flying a 4ch fixed pitch heli without any mishaps, then yes this would be my recommendation. I started on a trex 450 but wished I started on the 500 because it is more stable.
