Advantages: Good controll, strong rotors, easy to fly.

Disadvantages: Polystryrene body will gain numerous scratches, dents, and tears.

There's been a fair bit of hype around these so called micro-helicopters, and out of curiosity, I went and bought one not so long ago, and I must admit, they're pretty amazing things.
They only weigh some ten grams. the battery only has about six minutes flying time in it before you have to recharge, but it's intuitive, and easy to fly.

The outer body is made of polystyrene, which is both a plus and a negative. Th fact the body is made of it, means that it's lightweight, and responsive, however, the numerous crashes that are bound to happen do leave their mark, and you eventually end up with scratches and dents all over it.

The rotors are made of a type of light plastic, and although it looks flimsy, it is fairly strong, and has survived many a serious crash.
The only problem is the tail rotor, as you know if you've managed to break that due to the heli spinning uncontrollably, but luckily they thought ahead, and packaged it with a spare.

Overall, this helicopter is great if you want some cheap fun, or if you want to buzz the heads of people in the cubicle just over from you, or even as a present to someone you know, a definitive buy!

Summary: A great little toy, for adults and children alike.
