Pros:Β Never had experience flying a RC helicopter? Depending on age, attention span etc., most people should have had no problem learning to fly this tiny coax quickly; probably be able to hold a (relatively) steady hover within the first few flights. This little toy is one of the most stable helicopters on the RC market. For a 3ch micro helicopter (they call it "3.5ch" but you have no control over the gyro; just a marketing gimmick) it's crazy-stable and almost scary in how exact it flies. More docile then the other 3 or 4 I wrecked. :P The price concerned me at first, and I realized it IS (more or less) a knock-off of the (more expensive) Syma Apache, BUT after 40~50 flights THIS one is still going strong.
Cons:Β Not much... Charging time is kinda long using the USB charger. It used to take 30 minutes to charge, but it's been getting closer to an hour recently. Charging directly from the (included) transmitter box takes about the same time, BUT that kills the Tx batteries faster. Wish it came with a 3.2v ~ 3.6v wall outlet charger (I found one at the local radio shack). This isn't exactly a "con", but if you buy this for a child (10 or 12-YO) ORDER extra blades! After it smacks the wall or floor hard enough several times, it WILL break a blade ... eventually. This little thing IS pretty rugged, but it's NOT industructable (ask me how I know! :P). newegg might sell extra blades (I'm not sure), but if not, the rplacement blades for the "Syma 107" are redily available (google it), fit perfectly,.. and work even better. Cant't think of anything else...
Overall Review:Β It IS a toy of course. But it's great as beginner's helicopter. It has a pseudo gyro, so that helps stabilize things a LOT. Also, this IS a coaxial helicopter (meaning it has twin counter-rotating blades - eliminating rotor-torque,.. which in turn eliminates the need for a tail-rotor), so that makes makes everything smoother and simpler. Great starter. Buy it, enjoy it, wear it out, & throw it away.
Over a year, and still going strong!

Pros:Β It does everything it's supposed to do. Good volume, GREAT battery life, AND you probably wont need to read the owner's manual (setup is pretty intuitive and straightforward).
Cons:Β Can't think of anything.
Overall Review:Β Mine has lived a pretty rough life. It stays in the F-150 24/7/365 ... in temperatures from -30F to 110F. Just keeps going and going, and going...
Good for the price.

Pros:Β So far, everything is working just fine. I like the sleep-timer!
Cons:Β Like TJag, already wrote, there clearly IS a visible glow around the outside perimeter. But it's nothing I can't live with. UPS was pretty rough on the factory box (crushed, punctured in several places, and REALLY dinged-up), but the TV seems to be a little survivor.
Overall Review:Β For the price, you can't expect a Sony,.. but overall it's not a bad TV for the price. I'm giving it five eggs for being ... what it is - a good $100 television that does what it's supposed to do.
Rugged, reliable little heater!

Pros:Β Double Horse 9100 Single It not only works, it does it's job surprisingly well! When I noticed it on sale I thought "wth, why not? I've been freezing whenever I spend a few hours in the computer room anyway." I ordered it. It was about the same price wallyworld sells 'em for,.. BUT there's no state sales tax, PLUS this is delivered (I HATE shopping!). When it arrived four days later, I wasn't really expecting much. I figured it'd simple warm up the small spot under the desk (which is also under a LARGE single-pane 50's era window!). Just one more thing I'd have to remember to unplug (for safety's sake - I knew it has a 1/0 switch & thermostat). Cripes, was I surprised! The (10' x 12') room usually stays near 60 degrees during winter. This little heater POPs the temperature up to 72 degrees in about five minutes,... and THAT's on low-fan / low-heat, setting #2 (there's actually no "setting #2" on the thermostat, just a series of 11 increasingly larger dots)! It's ne
Cons:Β The thermostat isn't perfectly precise. If you have it set 72 degrees (as I mentioned earlier, you have to guess at that - there's no quantifiable measurement on this, just dots), it'll hit about 74 degrees before it turns off. After that, it doesn't automatically turn back on until the room temperature drops to +/- 68 degrees. Mot really big deal. This little heater's extremely high performance MORE than makes up for a slightly finicky thermostat by being utterly reliable and effective. It's not worth removing an egg over the thermostat. :P
Overall Review:Β The fan runs very well, but it's not exactly "quiet". It's not loud, but if you're trying to sneak some auxiliary heat into a room,... stick to the tower style (or pure radiant / NO fan) heaters ;).
Can't beat if for the price.

Pros:Β Don't expect a high performance $2,000 nitro heli for the price, but it's still a fun toy! I didn't trust the IR remote at first, but so far it's working just fine. Pretty stable once you get it trimmed out. RUGGED! Just try not to bounce it off hardwood floors or slam it against the ceiling too harf (ask me how I know!=).
Cons:Β Charges last less time (4 ~ 5.5 minutes) as it gets older, ... and charging time takes longer (40 minutes - a full charge from the USB charger used to take 25 minutes). Really not a big deal though. Can't thing of anything else...
Overall Review:Β You can get better flight time if you snip off the winglets (scissors work fine), and remove the "mini0gun pods" (they pop right off). Removing the main gear also adds a few extra seconds, but it seems to move the CG to the rear, so you'll have to remove the tailwheel too - that gets the CG right back under the rotor shaft. Just ONE warning! If you make the mods, you end up with an ultra-light heli (although not as "real looking"), BUT I'm sure you'll destroy whatever warranty there is!
