Pros: The Airwolf 500 series Helicopter looks and flys absolutely fantastic. First of all, it was packaged extremely well. We all know how packages delivered by carriers can be damaged and the goods inside can be damaged. The Airwolf 500 came packaged so well that there was no damage to anything inside. It's very realistic looking and I get lots of looks and great comments at the airfield. The GPS mode allows you to fly with confidence without crashing so you can hone your skills before moving on to a more difficult mode. Having three modes to choose from can give pilots with different flying capabilities a great and enjoyable flight.
Cons: Of course it took a month to receive, but man it was worth the wait. I specifically ordered the Helicopter with a mode 2 left side throttle transmitter. When it arrived it had a mode 1 transmitter and a sticker inside the Helicopter also showed mode 1. I contacted Razardon by email and was answered by a message that said, they double checked and I was sent a mode 2 transmitter and Helicopter. This made me a little frustrated and I felt like this was just a standard answer that's given when there's a problem and the issue wasn't really checked. I then sent back pictures of the sticker in the transmitter and the sticker that was inside the Helicopter that cleared showed mode 1. Which then I received a reply of an apology, that upon further checking, I did receive a mode 1. I was advised that changing from mode 1 to mode 2 was simple and was provided a link to watch a video. I did change my transmitter from mode 1 to mode 2 and it was easily done, but I wasn't advised that unlocking the Helicopter while in mode 2 was completely different then when the transmitter was mode 1. There were no instructions on this, as the only instruction I received was showing the unlocking of a mode 1 unit. It took a while searching the internet but finally stumbled across a thread of two people talking about this very issue. It was there i learned the unlocking procedure for mode 2. A few days later I did receive an email with links to unlocking in mode 2. The instructions manual could be improved and there's no instructions or pictures on how to install the provided screws and sizes for the extra parts, ie fins, guns and tail piece.
This Helicopter again looks and flys great, the retractable landing gear really sets it apart and I absolutely love flying it. The reason for only four stars is the experience I had and the ipoor instructions manual.n my humble opin
