Flew great straight out of the box.
After adjusting trim (which needs to be re-done after every charge) it will spin right/left only slowly. Mine's not really controllableas far as forward/backward. Only up/down and spin left/right.
What controlls the for/back? The throttle?
Fun none-the-less.

Fun fun fun, the men in our house have had a field day with their three copter. The hold up so well, trust me on this one. On our long dark winter days in Alaska this give the gang a little light hearted compation, who can land where, who and pick up what. Wish the battery life was just a little longer

It's fun to fly around. Our 2-1/2 year old son loves to watch it, and when it goes down he loves to run over to get it for me. Great little toy to have.

This is a good starter helichopter for beginners and it can take a beating from slamming it into the wall and stuff, things that would instantly break an expert level helichopter. A really good buy for a beginners who wants to learn how to fly a helichopter but not loose a lot of money in repairing one that they were not prepared to fly.

I BOUGHT TWO OF THESE AND I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. IF YOU HAVE A BIG ENOUGH ROOM THEY ARE LOTS OF FUN. WHERE I WORK WE HAVE A HUGE WAREHOUSE AND IT WAS EASY TO CONTROL. WE FLEW THESE ALL OVER AND HIT A LOT OF STUFF AND JUST RECENTLY DID A SMALL PIECE OF THE MAIN ROTOR CHIP OFF BUT IT STILL FLIES AROUND. THE ROTOR DID STOP SPINNING BUT ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PUSH THE BOTTOM GEAR BACK UP TO THE MOTOR AND IT KEEPS ON FLYING.

This is a great toy to fly around the house, once you`ve learned how to master the controls. My wife likes it,my dog likes it and it keeps me from watching too much TV. My opinion is 5 stars for this item.

          The helicopter is the prefect size to fly inside a small apartment, and it looks cool, rich in detail. The price is great too. I'd been looking for a small, electric RC helo for awhile, but could not justify the $100 or more price. I was unsure about IR, but it worked fine, and did not interfere with all the wireless networks in the area.
          I don't know if quality is a problem because of the size or in spite of it, but the first chopper's tail rooter would not work, and the copter would only flop around on the ground. I contacted Northern tool, and they replaced it with out question. The CSR was friendly and efficient, rare in today's market.
          The 2nd helicopter flew great out of the box. I do not really consider it a 3-channel RC device, because the third channel is only an adjustment. The Excalibur flies OK, but latitude controls are limited, and I crashed it many, many times before I got a balanced hover and even then I couldn't easily control forward flight. Granted I am not an experienced pilot, but scrambling to recover it from behind bookshelves or under chairs got old pretty quick. I broke a small piece off of the main rotor, and although it still flies, I can't replace the rotor: this is a serious weakness.
          Overall, it is fun and a thrill to fly, but as a starter, i am nervous to fly it too often; because I don't think it will survive many more crashes. I would not recommend it for children, and for adults, plan to replace it soon after you succumb to the habit.
          Northern Tool support deserves 5 stars for friendliness and efficiency.

It was fun while it lasted. The rotors are very brittle.NOT RECOMMENDED FOR KIDS. (Believe me)

I purchased two for our kids (ok, and me). I would recommend this toy to someone only if it was free. Don't spend the money on this toy. It was cool for the first few minutes of its life. The manufacturer recommends in-door use only. One helicopter hit some object in the house, the main propeller shattered. The other helicopter's tail rotor stopped working. Now they both just flop around on the floor and they are no longer used. I'm sure I'm not the only one that had this experience.

The batttery will not last very long. The flight time gets shorter each time you charge it. You don't have very much contorll over it. In order to go forward you have to add weight to the noise. If you try and hover and 5" it will drop back to the ground. It's full power or nothing. If you want to fly a r/c helicopter you should go to your local hobby shop and ask questions. Spend some extra money and get something that is good.

I PURCHASED THIS PRODUCT FOR MY SON. OF ALL HIS GIFTS RECEIVED FOR X-MAS THIS WAS THE ONE HE WAS MOST EXCITED ABOUT. AT LEAST HE WAS FOR THE FIRST 30 MINUTES OR SO UNTIL IT WOULD NO LONGER FLY. THERE WAS NO PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE HELICOPTER BUT AFTER A SHORT TIME OF FLYING IT , IT WOULD NO LONGER GET UP IN THE AIR. IT WOULD ONLY STAY VERY CLOSE TO THE GROUND AND REMINDED ME OF A MOSQUITO. I BOUGHT ANOTHER ONE THINKING IT WAS SOMETHING HE HAD DONE TO IT, AND TRIED IT MYSELF. AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THE SECOND ONE DID THE SAME AS THE FIRST ONE. THESE WERE A MAJOR DISAPOINTMENT AND A LETDOWN TO CHRISTMAS. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY.

These really intrigued me, so I bought a pair for my sons for Christmas. They are amazing, the way they fly! However, before they could master the nuances of the control panel, they had made several rough landings and suffered a few collisions with immovable objects. Within 5 minutes, the main rotor had broken. I have yet to contact the company re. repairs or replacements, but how they handle this will dteermine my overall evaluation of the product.
