Not a Toy (TRACR, Huntsville, AL, 2008-02-04)

I've seen a lot of negative reviews on this item and believe most are result of the buyer's impression that this is a childrens toy. It is, by necessity, of lightweight construction and won't stand anything but a perfect/light landing. The first time I landed mine (I thought softly) the landing gear broke. After a few more flights the tail boom snapped off when it landed, again softly, in the grass. I've patched it together and am still trying - hopefully I'll figure it out before I completely destroy it. I have learned that it is (1) too large to safely fly inside; (2) Won't tolerate any wind (I mean NO wind, not even 1/10 MPH) and (3) needs a large area. Unless you have access to an indoor stadium or gymnasium you need a football field with, again, ZERO WIND. I think if you have a large enough area so you have some time to practice hovering and speed control (so you're not forced to set it down to avoid an obstacle) you can learn to land it softly enough to avoid damage. Overall, for the price, I'm impressed with the sofistication/engineering as it's a technically sound concept. Quality control could use a little work as I had to "modify", for example, the tail rotor drive system to keep it from binding up. Spare parts: Every site that I could find that sells spare parts is out of stock on landing gear, tail rotors and main rotor blades so I guess that tells you what breaks the most. I would recommend buying two so you can use one for spare parts - a few spare parts cost as much as an entire new helicopter, especially after shipping costs are included.

hover lite (silentjobber, Hughson,CA, 2008-01-13)

I got the helicopter for a christmas present from my aunt and the first time i flew it, it broke as i landed. I then returned it and got another one and it broke again. Finally after reciving a new hover lite for the third time it broke as i was trying to take off. To anyone thinking about getting this toy, DON'T I read all the directions and the helicopter breaking on its first flight was still unavoidable.

And then she was gone (frotomot0, San Diego, Ca., 2008-01-23)

I couldn't wait to fly my new helicopter. I live in a cul-de-sac at the bottom of a hill. The very first time I took it out after charging it to the max, it flew away and never came back. Man that thing went high. So very high. And then it was gone. Whats up with that? The whole neighbor hood searched and searched, but it was no use. Being a grown man I am to old to cry. But thats how it felt.

Hover Lite Remote Helicopter (candiceP1, Iron Station, NC, 2008-01-05)

Helicopter does not work, has a short in it. Looking for a place to have it fixed. We also bought a very expensive ring and the stone fell out the first day and have sent it to our local jeweler to fix it. Not happy with products from your company. Shipping isn't as posted on website either. Will not be purchasing anymore items from your company.

helicopter stinks (captmk2004, Colo, 2008-01-26)

Bought 2 of these helicopters and they both broke on me within 10 minutes. Couldn't adjust the spinning of the machine. Second helicopter, I believe, rear rotor wouldn't work and the remote control for moving forward and backward didn't work. And yes, when it came down, it broke in pieces. :( Save your money!
