Radio Control Firefly Two-Channel Helicopter

Get in da choppah!!! Fun toy, though it arrived with a slightly bent bottom main gear. Still flew pretty well, but I had to peg the trim to one side. Eventually the vibration from the gear was too much for it and I sent it in for replacement a couple days ago.

This item was sent to our son in Iraq. The one thing they are VERY concerned with where he is the limited space they have. The Firefly was big enough to have fun with, but small enough to keep in his small quarters.

This little RC helicopter was fun and amazing during the short period it worked. Really neat design, fun and easy to fly indoors. Problem is many tiny critical parts just fall and fly off of it never to be found again. Parts are hard to get and packaged in bundles. If it came with extra parts or an order sheet for extras, I would recomend it. As it is now, do not buy.

I picked it up on August 31,2007 and spent about four hours playing with it and it's been the best flying toy I bought to date. Easy to fly and lot's of fun. I own ten flying toys and this one won me over. I want at least one more to save for my son.

My sons loved it, until the fragile plastic blades snapped off the frame. Its very fragile. Were do I fix this at???

Fun while it lasted - about 20 minutes. We liked it, but the blades are paper thin and tear too easily. To replace, they are very costly - almost as much as buying a new one. I wouldn't recommend.

I got this toy as a birthday gift (I'm a techy). I had it ready to launch in just a few minutes. It takes a while to get a good control of it in flight, but after a little practice it's really fun. If you have cats, they will go CRAZY trying to catch it. The blades are delicate if the copter crashes, but a little bit of scotch tape will fix that-- and won't throw off the balance. This copter is only meant to fly a few minutes at a time before it needs charging- so buyers beware. The helicopter is made for INDOORS which is great for those of us that live in apartments. The helicopter makes a cool addition to your desk or office. A must-have for the 'toy' collector.

I owned this firefly blade runner helicopter for one half hour before one of the two motors stuck on and burnt out. I made the silly mistake of waiting to try it out. I know better than not read buy.com policy on returns. They are normally very good and I waited to the 16th day of a 14 day return policy. So that is my fault. I so far have not heard back from the manufacturer who does have a 30 day warranty. When I call the number I get a recording. I have also sent them an email. Do yourself a favor and do not buy this copter. You will be sorry just like me.

Wow this little heli flys great and very stable. Pretty durable too! I found a universal ac adapter for the base charger, recommed finding a ac adapter charger for it, this will save you much money on batteries.

Just a lot of fun to keep it flying without crashing it into the walls. It looks more delicate than it is. Some control is possible after a little practice. Forward movement doesn't always continue with direction change. The right stick is very sensitive. Flight and charging times are good. I got it as a step to an outside bigger more expensive model.

This toy is a lot of fun to fly. With a little practice you can control it pretty well. But accidents do happen and the replacement cost for the blades is pretty high. If replacement parts didn't cost almost as much as the helicopter I would have given it four stars.

Really a lot of fun, just buy an extra set of rotors since they don't survive many crashes. The body is solid.
