    Is this any good? I am searching for the ultimate little helicopter that you can actually fly for longer than five minutes before it either crashes or needs a recharge. I can pay more than $24.

    What the hell does Excalibur have to do with this? Why put that in the name? Since they pulled that name out of their ass, I can only assume that they did the same with their engineering work.

    this is one of the best crappy 2 channel helicopter i bought, i perfected it if you start the heli angling 80 degrees slope, it will shoot downward and fly back around back to you

    Flimsy construction. Not sure I'd pay money for it. Friend had one & destroyed it in a matter of few minutes.

    What is the cheapest RC copter that allow you to have full control on left & right, forward & backward movements? I know this one can't.

    This is great, now all I need to do is find a model Piper Cub, too.

    These little things are fun if you can figure them out. If you can't figure them out, they last about 5 minutes before they're busted.

    Wow! Wireless! So it doesn't need a USB port. Stick with twin engine Air Hogs airplanes if you need something inexpensive for your kids (or even yourself)

    Kids love these for the 10-15 minutes before they break

    Buy 3 of this if this is your first time flying. Use the crashed, damaged choppers for parts. Yes, It is not cheap to fly. But don't start piloting with this micro-chopper. Here is the rule for flying the R/C's: bigger is better.

    This thing can't fly. A waste of money.
    Google xheli to get some cheap but decent helos to familiarize with. Go to rcuniverse if you really need to know what RC things are.
