The whiz kid can be controlled surprisingly well in airplane mode, although he has neither height nor rudder. In helicopter mode, it can be better controlled than the small Silverlit 3-channel helicopter. Contrary to what "crumbs" writes in his review, the flight time of only 4 to 5 minutes and the charging time is about 50 minutes - just as it is also in the user manual! One can extend slightly the flight time but when you start it in airplane mode from the hand. Even if the battery for a start from the ground is too empty, so you can still fly for a while. For Durability: My flyer has now been a few crashes (mostly on grass) behind and is already collided two or three times against a tree, but still everything is healing. The tip of the aircraft is equipped with a robust transparent cap that protects the soft styrofoam fuselage on impact. Here are a few tips: 1. When assembling the chassis stuck in the trunk and best yet "secure" with a short strip adhesive film. One can otherwise ever when landing (in airplane mode) on grass lose a chassis and - when the grass is a little higher - no longer find. For this is about the same luck a spare frame while. 2. Even when you start in helicopter mode, a smooth starting surface is required. When starting on a meadow, the chassis remains mostly depend on the grass and lets the plane sideways tilt. Therefore, I use a small sheet of plywood as a "launch pad" or let the vertical take in airplane mode from the hand start. 3. In Flugzegmodus not run excessive steering movements, as the flyer then rapidly lose altitude (even at full throttle). 4. The range of the remote control is not infinite! Therefore, flying by plane is not too high or too far. Will leave the range, the Flyer will switch off after a few seconds and crashes.
