I got one of these last Xmas. They are great fun. My 5 year old enjoys flying out with a bit of help.

Think I might pop into Lidl and get one. Looks like a good boy's toy.

I bought something similar a while back and it was great to fly indoors.
I was that good at flying I convinced myself to get one the bigger helis (about 3 feet long).
Maiden flight in the garden - most bushes got a damn good trimming.
There's a lot to be said for balance blades fooling you into thinking you have skill

How long does the battery last between charges ?

How long does the battery last between charges ?

usually about 10 - 15 minutes

if you can keep it in the air for 10 minutes trust me it's long enough
