One-key takeoff and altitude hold provide smooth, easy control, making it perfect for kids and adults.

Review: Love it! Simple to control for my 5 and 8 year old kids. Would be great if it had a bit bigger battery, but it's perfect for the little trinket it is.
Review: Overall fun and easy to learn to fly. I really like the aircraft platform. A bit overpriced for what it is, but for those wishing to start, it is a nice, non-simulator way of learning the flight controls. No full acro-mode. Just altitude hold mode. It can fly outside but only in no to little wind. It does have dual rates, so use the high rate for outdoors. It has plastic gears and brushed motors. In high temperatures and long operational use the gear teeth will chip. Also, the brushed motors will fail rather quickly. Don't attempt to repair this will void the 2 year warranty. But again, this wasn't designed to be repairable. Not customizable with BetaFlight. Cannot bind a third-party radio controller. Don't waste money on the "FPV" camera. The viewing angle isn't wide enough, the camera is mounted too low, doesn't pan up enough to look ahead in forward flight, and the camera can't be rotated to level the view ( tilted to right or left ) to the aircraft. Also, only googles like the discontinued Google Daydream would make this really FPV. Can't use DJI googles nor FatShark googles. SYMA should improve on this platform to better outdoor flight and make it repairable and full acro-mode and better FPV...bigger and heavier frame...brushless motors without a gearbox...maybe three bladed blades...programmable flight controller...OpenTx compatible receiver. Consider a 4DRC 4D-V10. It is less expensive with same feature. Or the Drone Hawk aircraft series.

*by S***G on 20 September 2022*

This helicopter drone was my first attempt at buying and flying one! Guess what? It was EASY! This is so fun, cute, fast, and easy to fly. I could even do cool tricks. I did crash it into some trees and a wall while learning but the tuff and flexible plastic made it almost indestructible : ) I love the lights and all the extra parts and the second battery. It has a really long flight time on a charge and was very inexpensive. I completely recommend this for anyone (kids and adults).
