3.5CH Gyro Hercules Unbreakable Remote Control Helicopter, yellow

We bought this after much research for my son's birthday. We received quick shipping, came packaged well and very impressive upon removal. Ready to fly right away and if the propellers were more durable, this would be an awesome heli. The body of the heli is very durable, just as showed on the video. We didn't step on it or anything naturally, but we did fly it. It can handle a crash in the body but some of the lights stopped working immediately and the real disappointment came with the propeller design. There are little black clips that hold the propellers and weight in proper alignment so they can spin without hitting eachother...without them, the heli cannot fly. These popped off after 3 or 4 flights. The heli didn't even land on cement...it was on soft grass and these flew off immediately. Without them, the toy is useless. They seem to pop off easily. We have two other heli's that have the same type of set-up and the same style little things and they never come off, even if my youngest gets ahold them them and crashes them. My guess is it is just a design flaw. If they included extra in the package or made them available perhaps. Still, my son only was able to fly it for about an hour and then...that's it. I would also mention that the remote control is not great quality either. The antenae tip broke off when he pulled it open. Dealing with World Tech however was a breeze! Fantastic company, reimbursed us shipping and price of toy (only right as we had it less than 24 hrs)but still, they were quick, excellent communicators and I couldn't have had a better experience for returning this item. I'm sad it didn't work out. BTW, as far as those clips coming off, it wasn't only for my son that they did this, I flew it too and they came off on me...this time we couldn't find them. So, bottom line, definately for older children or teens/adults (I didn't let my younger one anywhere near it!), durable body for certain, best I've seen, you could be taking a change with it, like us, but this company is on to something. Because of the propeller, if you are not a professional heli flyer, it might be best to pass. For us, it was a lot of money for a huge disappointment. My $25 heli is easier to control, doesn't break and is more reliable. Hope this helps.

no it did not meet my expectations this helicopter is in pieces it will not stay in air it falls all by itself it's busted unbreakable bulls*** just get pads are tore up the blades for it will not stay in here it goes up about 10 seconds and it falls no matter what you do and then after hits the ground it thrashes about all on its ownmy advice is do not buy this hunk of junk and the seller of this thing shame on you

Initially it shipped with a dead remote. Seller replaced remote (sort of, long story). Helicopter can not fly in any sort of wind out side and does not have very good control. It is big and clunky to fly and still breaks. Tail rotor motor got damaged and I tried to replace it but could only find the smaller Hercules version that looks and fits the same but does not have enough power to move the helicopter forward. A friend bought one of these too, his broke the first day and his replacement would not charge a battery. No spare parts to buy (maybe cause it's "unbreakable" and its plastic BTW, not metal) means that this will not last long since you won't be able to fix it when you crash it. I guess don't EVER let it crash and you might be ok, if you happen to get one that can charge battery, with a good remote. Stay away.

Awesome!!! After trying 3 or 4 less durable and smaller RC Helicopters, All of which broke, gears stripped the very first time we tried using one of them. Anyway, we have not used this one as much as we would like, but so far it has proven to be an excellent purchase. My 7 year old son loves it, and has found it easier to control, than most of the smaller ones we have tried in the past. We will take it to an open field when there is little wind and Hercules does great. My son dropped it about 12-15 feet straight down, and as it bounced off the ground, he hit the controls and took off again like he had planned it that way. I have not looked yet, but would be interested in spare batteries for additional flight time.

These helicopters are NOT unbreakable. My boys used it for 2 days and now the bottom "blades" do not even work thus not providing enough lift for the helicopter and it won't even fly. It's fun while it works, but definitely not unbreakable. The first one was broken within 2 weeks and this one was broken within 2 days. My 13 year old knows how to fly it, but it is what it is. Not recommended.

The landing bracket snapped on the first flight. Its cool and seems to fly well but unbreakable???? What a joke.
