Overview
A living room or bedroom is all the space this gyro helicopter needs, since infrared control limits it to indoor flight. The remote steers it up, down, left, right, forward and backward.
The gyro makes it stable and easy for a beginner to hover, and charging works through USB or the controller. Flights are short and range is small, and the age listing varies from adult supervision for teens to a lower minimum.
Who it's for
Rainy days and small rooms suit a pocket-size helicopter that charges from a USB port. Outdoor pilots, wind and anyone wanting a drone should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Gyro stabilizes flight
- Charges by USB or controller
- Spare tail blade included
- Two frequency options listed
- Indoor use only
- Short flight time
- Small flying distance
Performance notes
The gyro corrects tilt, which lets a beginner hold a hover, and infrared control needs a clear line from remote to helicopter. The tiny battery sets flight time, and recharging takes far longer than a flight lasts.
