Electronics : R/C Apache AH-64 4 Channel Helicopter
Rating: 
- 4 Channel Apache Feralbeast RC Helicopter
I bought one of these through Amazon as my first 4 channel helicopter. The first time I tried to fly it, it crashed as the locking collar for the top bearing was not tightened up & the bearing came out causing the shaft to flap about. Once rebuilt & properly set up, the helicopter flies quite well but there are better helicopters on the market. The Twister Hawk or the Blade CX2 are much better value for money & will fly straight out of the box.
The transmitter that came with the helicopter is 40MHz which is reserved for SURFACE Models only - cars, boats, etc. So if you do buy one of these you wont be able able to fly it at the local model club.

- Apache Feralbeast RC Helicopter (4 Channel)
What can you say about a £60 (now £49) 4 channel RC helicopter. To be honest I wasn't expecting too much but once I had opened the box and found 8 (yes eight) AA batteries for the controller (not included) I was a convert.
It is very easy to setup and get to grips with. Bare in mind though that this is a decent sized powerful helicopter with exposed blades. This is not a kids toy. It is very well balanced and easily trimmed with the controller. The flight time is very good - easily out stripping the smaller 2-3 Channel foam based helicopters you can buy for up to £30.
If you are considering an intermediate level indoor (larger areas required to get the most out of the helicopter's speed) then don't buy the cheap foam choppers - this is FAR better value for money and is robust as well (contrary to the other reviewers post).
5 STARS!
Rating: - Cool toy
I have recently bought one of these, and at less than £60, I had not expected too much. I have flown a similar 4 channel helicopter before, which cost a lot more and breaks with every heavy landing.
This little beast is incredibly strong, and as the rotors have a central screw holding them in place, when the rotors hit something, the fold up rather than snap. Excellent fun and good value.

- Make sure you can get spares before buying
This is a fantastic helicopter, easy to fly and learn. Good starter for moving to more advanced models. However the blades smash easily, the rotor assembly is brittle and after about 1 hour of playing time the one plastic rotor wheel is worn already. I can't find anyone on the net with parts and you'll need them trust me. Nothing worse seeing this little fellow and not being able to fly it. Otherwise great product.
