The helicopter was delivered very quickly and was well packaged. After unpacking, I realized that the stern was somehow slanted / warped. Also, the tail rotor, including engine were slightly twisted to the left. Since all parts are screwed together, I was able to solve all the screws and the parts then neatly and precisely reassemble using a mini-Phillips screwdriver. Duration of action is about 5 minutes. I have to admit, the device now looks absolutely top notch. The materials make a stable and high-quality impression. The workmanship is very neat, as far as I can judge it in undivided state. Since I have the USB charging cord not supplied together with the instrument, the Zoopa 150 blu iz has been connected to the charge to the notebook. The batteries for the remote control were not included, but replacement blades. Prior to its predecessor often negatively valued coupling problems of the helicopter with the remote control, I had a little panic. Kindly ACME has learned from the mistakes, because the successor coupled automatically. Lt. Manual is called the "automatic binding function". Sounds stupid, but is a great thing, because you can start right away.
The first test flight in the lounge succeeded without crashing or furniture bump with final precision landing on the product packaging. Coincidence? Again. Start, a pair of eights flying through the living room and land on the carton. Perfect! I must say that I am not a professional. My son (8) was at Easter a AMEWI Firestorm Pro, which I was allowed to fly a few times. In other words: the Zoopa flies for me as a layman very, very good. He is in turbo mode (yes, you can hear and see when is the turbo on) really fast and can maneuver around the room thanks to the elegant clean responsive control. In fast flown curves he lies even really in the curve. If necessary, the Zoopa can float but also on the spot.
I would deduct a star for the following reasons:
- No USB charging cable while
- Small straightening work necessary prior to the first flight
Still, I give it 5 stars because:
- Automatic binding function
- Looks awesome
- Flies super
- Every penny of really low price value
