I bought this as a Christmas present for my husband. I was concerned at first about its small size and its durability. He loved the size, and, two days later, the chopper has lasted through several falls without a hitch. He has trouble moving it forward while it’s in the air, but I suspect that’s a question of practice. It’s not super-easy to maneuver, but that’s part of the fun. It’s challenging. The company website is great, and has a good tutorial video for every one of its products. I plan to get him a new model every Christmas.

My son and I received two Air Hog Heli Havoc helicopters for Christmas and they are a blast - while they last! One of them broke after a few days when the on/off button broke off during power down. We promptly exchanged it for one of the Air Hog Stinger helicopter models which then broke upon the very first use when one of the blades broke off. I did yet another exchange and the new one is working for the moment. The lady at WalMart said that they get lots of returns on these units and I’m not surprised. They are great fun when they work offering a low price, simple control scheme, and indoor use. Unfortunately they really are flimsy and don’t seem to withstand normal use - if you buy one keep your receipt!

My husband loves this. It’s pretty breakable though but you can buy parts for it.

My grandsons were very excited to get two of these toys and had a great time for as long as they lasted. Unfortunately, both broke within about ten minutes. The propeller is way too fragile. I would never buy these again. Forty or fifty dollars can be better spent on something that holds up for much longer.
