 SYMA 3 CHANNEL MINI HELICOPTER Dec 29, 2009
By Bill Godfrey
Bought nine SYMA 3 Channel S012 Mini AH-64 RC Helicopters from Amazon.Com for 9 yr old nephew, three nieces, 8 yrs, 9yrs and 11 yrs, and 32yr old son (so the kids would go home with a helicopter that worked when they left). These helicopters are rugged!
They were also the star present from Santa. The four youngsters learned to fly them up, down, forward and back, hovering and diving, with the only grumble that they had to wait while they recharged. 9 yr old nephew took the rockets attached to the sides off as he found them too cumbersome and had it diving all over the place, coming round a corner to attack. My niece had it flying around evading a rolled up napkin nephew was using to attempt to bring it down. Helicopter dropped numerous times but they all went home in one piece. These little helicopters are solid. I know, I've bought them each Christmas for the past three years and had these kids crying when they left to go home with broken planes. Not this Christmas though.
So I gave the remaining four to my sister, sister-in-laws, and daughter's boy friend who weren't as tough on them as the kids but who had just as great a time with them.

Great way to learn to fly a Helicopter Oct 05, 2010
By Bob G
I just stopped flying to recharge the batteries on the Apache. I bought this Helicopter not expecting much in the way of fun and durability. I figured at this price it would last a weekend and be off to the trash. Was I ever wrong. Not only have my boys and I learned how to fly with this helicopter we have bumped it into walls, ceilings and everything else in the house along the way. I thought that since it was so inexpensive it would be marginal with regard to flight controls but it is actually pretty good and we are having to fight over who fly's it next.
If you want to learn how to fly an RC Helicopter I think this is a great way to start. Highly Recommend!

 Not quite for kids? Nov 13, 2009
By Bill
Ordered on a Friday, received on Thursday. Toy has a bit of a learning curve -- could not imagine giving to a kid under 11 or 12, as its fragile body probably wouldn't last more than a couple flights (you run into a lot of walls and land pretty roughly your first couple tries). A blast once you get the hang of it, though. 15-20 minutes' charge gets you 5-6 minutes' flight, and three channels means you get up/down, left/right rotation, and forward/backward. Instruction manual is laughably translated to English, but intelligible. Seems to be a good ice-breaker for a serious RC copter.

Perfect Feb 03, 2010
By Lainie22
Received one as a gag gift for the holidays. Before long it became my favorite stress releiver. The more you fly it, the better a feeling you get for the controls. Funny thing is the tail flaps broke off after a few hours of flight time and the helicaopter actually fly's truer without it. One other note, the flight time increased upto 8 minutes of flight time after numerous charges. Warning, dont use dead or weak batteries, the faster the charge the longer the flight time. post script, I now have 4 of these, one original, one for the office (the nurf gun gauntlet after hours really perks up morale) and two on standby incase one fo the other two break.

Best one yet !!! Feb 02, 2010
By Mike Pennington
I had gone through 3 different rc helicopters before I got the AH-64. I had two different Air Hogs, and a Propel one. This one is by far the best yet. The control is far superior. I have total control over it. I love this thing.
