Tougher than it should be, and flies well
I've bought around 6 of these types for myself and for friends over the last six months, and the good ones work amazingly well.
First, this is a 2-channel system, so you can spin the rotor faster/slower to rise and fall, that's one channel. Then you can point it left or right using the tail rotor with the second channel. That's it. There is no forwards/backwards control on this model, but it is still huuuge fun! Normally it just drifts forward very slowly - more on this later.
The stability is amazing if you know the problems involved. If you are a rotorcraft flyer this little beast will seem really stable, it can be trimmed to just wander around the room with good control. If you are a beginner, it may be frustrating at first!
But don't worry, practice will usually improve your skills. If you find it hard to fly, then remember that in this size, this design is about as stable as it is possible to get. It's very good. Persevere - a gymnasium or aircraft hangar is a good place to practice. Windy days outside are a no-no!
Forward speed can be adjusted by adding a little weight (Blu-Tack or similar) to the nose, and some makers of this much-copied design provide little self-adhesive weights for this purpose.
Too much weight on the front and you end up with too much speed! Which usually means a crash.
Fortunately they survive some amazing accidents, which is just as well. The part that has usually broken for me is the tail rotor. The better makers provide a spare one, and I fitted that - bit fiddly but OK to do.
Which maker is best? hard to say, so many labels and names on similar machines - but the original Picco is probably the one that will have spares most readily available. If that's important to you, then that's probably the one to go for.
Highly recommended for determined kids of all ages - and I'm in my 60s.

Excellent Present
This is a genuine review about this tiny helicopter. My brother bought me one recently as a present. I was very scepticle about how good it would be but it's amazing. Really easy to get used to. It needs some "beans" to get it in the the air and to stop it spinning. After a few minutes I had it under control flying aroung my small kitchen. Not before some minor crashed though which it withstood. Battery lasts too. Only 2 channel but enough for beginners. Enjoy. Thanks

SkyScramler Helicopter Troubles....
I made my first purchase of this product this week. I opened, read the directions and looked for batteries for the helicopter. After this my first lift off ended with a crash. I kept trying to get it back up in the air, however; each time I ended with a crash. I tried once more and the stablizer blade broke off. I repaired it first with finger mail polish, it broke again. Next, I found some superglue and repaired it again. It broke still again. I am repairing it for the third time and hope to get it up this time. I would like to find repair parts, but; they do not list a web site on the box or directions. Make sure you have plenty of room prior to taking off. Practice, practice, practice....
