GoolRC C129 RC Helicopter for Adults, 4 Channel 2.4Ghz Remote Control Helicopter with 6-Axis Gyro, Aileronless RC Aircraft with Altitude Hold and 3 Batteries (Blue)

I love flying this thing. Very relaxing.

This little heli is awesome! It has two gears for mellow flight or a go with a bit more pep, which I figured out by reading some else’s review here. The instructions only show that there is a button to switch the gears. It has auto take off and landing or you can do it manually. The three batteries give plenty of flight time. Great little heli to learn 4 channel. Now let’s talk about it being good for beginners! The answer to that is kind of. There are a few different types of helicopters that vary in difficulty of flying. The most simple type to fly is a 3 channel that can go up-down, forward-backward and it can turn left and right. I see that some reviews have compared this heli to those and that is a mistake. This helicopter is a four channel helicopter which adds the ability to now fly sideways left and right which brings a new dimension into play. That fact alone does make it more difficult to fly than the three channel helis. This heli will also fly quite a bit quicker than a three channel will, adding to the challenge. There are much more difficult heli to fly, which are collective pitch heli so this is definitely beginner level when compared to that. I would recommend this heli for someone getting into the hobby but it will take some time to learn how to fly well. Not really for small kids.

Fairly stable helicopter for a beginner. One touch landing button worked well and acted like a safe when I got it out of control. Can be very fast if you move the sticks a lot, so there is a lot of fun in it for a more experienced pilot as well. I flew it in the garage the first time to avoid any wind. I was able to trim it pretty well. My only complaint is that it loses it’s trim every time you land and shut the motor off. It needs trim to hover every time you take off, but the trim was never very far off. It just wouldn’t hover without trim. The transmitter is cheap but worked very well. For what you pay for this, the compromises are acceptable. I could trim it to move forward slowly and use the tail boom control to turn in a controlled circle in either direction. I could pretty much cut the throttle and it would land on its own. The best thing about it was its resilience. I crashed it into things in the garage five times the first day and it never broke. The only problem I had was keeping its speed down when it got out of control. I would over compensate making things worse. I learned to release the sticks and hit the land button. If you can find a large indoor space or a totally calm day to begin flying, that would be better. I wouldn’t start in a living room as a beginner. The battery time was surprising. It states 15 minutes and I got that. It takes a little more than an hour to charge the battery, so the versions with multiple batteries are better. The instructions are riddled with errors. You need to read them to figure out how to bind the heli and controller and how to start it up and how to charge the batteries, but that’s it. It comes completely assembled. You just need four AA batteries. It pretty much just landed when the battery dies. It never shut off all at once so you just land when it starts slowing down. I don’t know how long it will last, but it’s a lot of fun for now. The value is there. It does fly and is about as good as it gets to learn on.

This is a cool helicopter. works great but for learners who might crash it...no way...its not durable at all... the tail motor stopped working after 2 minor crashes in the same day it arrived..Not a good training heli. The V2 version is even less durable...tail motor stopped working after 1 minor crash from 2 inches off the ground..

It being small and light weight makes it great for learning. Even after crashing multiple times it continues to survive falls! 100% would recommend

W0W! I can’t believe how easy it is to fly this little helicopter outside. It’s fairly fast, very responsive, stable and agile. Surprisingly, it handles a mild wind with ease. The tail hold is exceptional, and not twitchy. I recommend a beginner learning orientation to start outside. This helicopter can really move at full speed. It looks fragile, but can take a beating on the grass. For the money it’s a ton of fun!! My third helicopter in 2 months is a XK-110S CP helicopter. I’m hooked!!

The helicopter is durable so far. But the tail has fallen off before during an impactful fall. Didn't damage the unit. Also the batteries take a long time to charge and you can't charge all of them at once only one at a time.

I've owned many nano/micro helicopters over the years, both fixed and collective pitch. This is the finest fixed pitch nano I've owned. Battery life is outstanding, getting around the 15 minutes advertised. Properly trimmed it will hover untouched for quite some time. Press the throttle trim to switch to high rates (two beeps) and it will become very responsive. It holds elevation very consistently (unlike collective pitch helicopters). This is not a toy. If you haven't flown a helicopter there is going to be a steep learning curve. Fly indoors or in very light wind. The Firefox performs great and is one of my favorites to fly.
