3.5 Ch RC Hercules Helicopter. The Helicopter's body can take up to 200 pounds of force! 3.5 Ch RC Hercules Helicopter. The Helicopter's body can take up to 200 pounds of force!

Pros: I got this for less than the current price and expecting it to be junk. But, it is bigger than most for this type of rotor system so it is more stable to fly than the micros or nanos. The frame and blades are very durable...not sure about unbreakable, but good.

Cons: The battery port does pop off into the body...but if you are going to own an RC of any kind you better be ready to open it up. It took the cowl off (3 screws), the skids (four screws) and the battery tray (2 screws) and guess what, there was the female plug. Pop it back in to place, feed a zip tie around the arms and pull. Never broke again.

Other Thoughts: As I said, if you own an RC product, be prepared to open them and tinker a little. I admit that when things are new it is a real pain, but I spent less time fixing it than driving to the store and wasting gas to return it.

Pros: The youtube videos looked impressive.

Cons: Like others have experienced, I had issues with the charging port. On first attempting to charge it, the plug inside the body fell inside without resistance. Attempted to get an RMA from the company and got no response from them. I'm disputing the charge in order to get my money back.

Other Thoughts: Don't think I'll be making purchases with vendors from the marketplace anymore. Will stick to direct newegg purchases. I've never had problems with newegg.

Pros: The only pro this thing had going for it was that it looked cool.

Cons: When I first got it out of the package to charge it, I went to plug the charger into the helicopter body and the plugin wasn't fastened or glued down so it just slid inside the body. After spending over an hour taking all the little screws out and gluing the plugin into place and fastening everything back up I went to plug it in into the outlet and right at the time I made connection I smelled burning electronics. I rapidly unplugged it and put my nose to one of the vents of the toy and sure enough it had burned up. After trying to contact their support over this it was just horrible and after trying to explain to them that there was no way I did anything to the toy to cause it to short circuit I ended up just hanging up and swallowing the money I put in this. But hey at least it looks cool sitting on my desk beside me.

Pros: Colors and lights.

Cons: Charging port broke off like everyone else's after the 3rd use. Transmitter control stick was broken when opening the box. Daughter tried to use it anyway.

Tried calling the company that makes it only to get a mailbox full message. RMA return requests get no response. I wish NewEgg sold this instead of Hobbytron. Then I know they would handle it correctly.

Pros: none

Cons: Helicopter feel apart after first flight. I managed to fix pillar but charger connector broke off inside body making it impossible to fix. Poor design and bad service. I requested RMA but not response from Newegg. Very disappointed in Newegg.

Pros: Broke imediately, charger socket fell into the helicopter body on first use.

Cons: Broke immediately, charger socket fell into the helicopter body on first use.

Pros: The first flight was exciting for my daughter

Cons: The charger port pushed into the body of the helicopter. After 3 attempts to contact Hobbytron and getting no response I decided to see if I could fix it. I took the helicopter apart and noticed the negative wire on the charger port was caught up into the motor and pulled away from the port. Time to shake off the soldering skills and fix it myself

Pros: Good to know its durable, looks great and flies great!

Cons: controller is a complete cheap plastic mold with extra fake knobs and switches.

Other Thoughts: First Helicopter so I'm just going on this experience with my review.

Pros: none

Cons: broke after 2 time flying. trim will not adjust

Pros: When it was working it was great.

Cons: Transmitter is cheap feeling, throttle stick was broken when we opened the box.
The charging port pushed in like the others reviewing this item

Other Thoughts: With a little better quality this would be a great heli.
