Toys : Dragonfly Radio Controlled SM606 Ready-to-fly Helicopter

- Rotor broke off on first flight
Onits maiden voyage it went up and went out of control. Found out after the crash lasnding that the rotor broke off and was unable to fix it since it was all plastic. PIECE OF JUNK!

- Great 2ch Chopper
This is not a highly maneuverable helicopter, this is not a "toy" for young children, and this is not designed to be wonderful, but it is meant to be cheap fun for those who love helicopters. What this helicopter is, however, is essentially a large Picoo Z for outdoor use. The quality of construction first appears weak, but upon many crashes, I have found it quite durable. Do not, however, rely on its durability only. In the hands of small children, it will break quickly. It is somewhat difficult to fly, but once it's trimmed, it can be surprisingly controllable (though not NEARLY as such as a helicopter of higher quality with more channels.) The trim knob is easy to adjust for left/right motion, and for forward motion, simply affix weight to the front of the fuselage. A small fishing weight or small change stuffed in the battery compartment will suffice. As for educational value, this is by no means a highly educational toy. However, it does teach basic helicopter controls and how to properly take care of precision equipment. I've bought many RC helicopters for under $100, and so far this is the only one that:
- Can be flown outdoors
- Can fly into the wind.
- Has cheap, user replaceable parts.
- Can be flown indoors (though I do not recommend, especially until accustomed to the controls)
- Isn't primarily styrofoam.
- Has very far controllable range.
If you want something that is very controllable and stable, I HIGHLY recommend a proxyflier instead (Bladerunner, Micro Mosquito) as they are very stable, though only indoors. If you want a very cheap, fun helicopter that can handle outdoors, looks like a real helicopter, and is large, this will be very suitable on a tight budget.

- Complete waste of money
This thing cannot hover in one place without spinning. The trim is located on the heli so you cannot adjust it while flying. In other words it's adjust, fly, land, and repeat until you get close. Also this thing flies anywhere it wants, you cannot control where it goes. You can only control direction of rotation and up/down. This is especially bad because you cannot fly this indoors because it's erratic, but you cannot fly it outside either because a little wind causes it to drift out of the range of your transmitter
Mine lasted for a couple weeks then the tail motor died so it could not be flown anymore without spinning out of control. The only good thing about it is it's very durable and it charges in only 3 hrs while giving you about 10 minutes of flight time.
Don't waste your money on this, instead get the 3ch 735 series which is a micro heli and VERY stable.
Rating: - Fragile and weak plastic structure
Out of the box and ready to fly? If you like going in one direction. It is adjustable but there is another trick that cost you more time. Any impact against the rear rotor and the mainshaft will snap right after the bolt assembly. This was a mistake from the beginning. I now buy pre tested from the Factory helicopters with aluminum frames and landing pads. It is well worth spending an additional [...] dollars to have a quality helicopter that flies correctly right out of the box.
Rating: - This is a training chopper
This chopper is higher quality than expected. However you really cant steer it but it is great for getting the basics down. It can go up really high, but other than that its all about keeping it stable. You really cant expect alot for under $[...]. if you want one you can steer make sure its at least 4 channel device. this is my third chopper, and this one is the best for the price, the others were steerable, but 2 times the price at least. This is also a outdoor chopper, and will not work in wind. I rate it high because of its construction, and power, it is a great traning tool to teach you how to keep a chopper stable instead of spending a couple hundred on a chopper and breaking it.
