These all have the same tiny, breakable arms attaching the two blades. One decent brush with an object and that's it. I did enjoy it for that short time.

if you want a rc helicopter, it is well worth it to get a 450 class electric, for $200+, instead of one of these things...

#5, a lot of people give up on helo by doing a big leap from this crap to the $200-ish bird. I would suggest some cheap (under a hundred bucks), but working (being able to fry around) co-axial at x-heli bacon.
Uh, no, I do not work for xheli. I bought some tools and toys from them.
