I bought this for my son who has been into r/c cars, trucks, and boats. This was his first r/c helicopter, we went with this particular helicopter because we saw great reviews online. During the unboxing everything was great until we prepared for the first flight. Long story short the remote loses connection with the helicopter constantly during flight making it almost impossible to fly. We tried everything the online community had for trouble shooting, and reached out to the company for trouble shooting. Everything they recommended didn’t work so for now we remain grounded. Maybe we’ll have better luck with airplanes.
