Overview
A beginner pilot practicing in a bedroom or playroom gets a compact radio control helicopter that holds its height on its own. A lithium polymer battery and a charger come in the box. The plastic body is meant for small spaces, not open air.
Altitude hold takes away the hardest part of early flying, which is controlling height while learning steering. The limitation is the short flight window per charge, and the listing does not name a transmitter power source.
Who it's for
A child's first flying toy for a rainy afternoon in a playroom fits this. The educational goal listed is learning basic flying skills. Experienced hobbyists, or anyone wanting a model for a backyard, should look at a larger aircraft.
Pros and cons
- Altitude hold helps beginners hover
- Battery and charger included
- Compact enough for bedrooms
- Light plastic body
- Flight time is short per charge
- Transmitter power source not listed
- Not meant for outdoor flying
Performance notes
A flight is limited by the small lithium polymer battery, so the short flight time listed is the real ceiling. The height holding feature lets the pilot focus on direction, and the three and a half channel control gives basic throttle and steering. Light plastic copes with bumps into furniture, though a draft will push it around.
