Consumer Reviews

Saw these at a Brookstone store at a neighborhood mall in my location and identified out that they had been selling them two for $90 so I had to get them. I've shopped around for the best deal and nothing at all compares to these. They have a distinctive canopy and lighting technique with multi-colored LEDs inside and out. Cool factor is you have the solution of turning the flashy lights on/off if you want from the remote manage itself. Takes a bit of practice to fly it but as soon as you get the hang of it, its most likely the smoothest three-channel chopper you can get. Has a silent design so its whisper quiet motor and smooth hovering thanks to the built-in gyroscope for assistance. It does pack some power and speed also. The complete kit was packed with plenty of replacement parts in case you crash and damage your blades and etc. Only unfavorable thing about this mini heli package is that it does not have a usb charger or wall charger for the heli. Superior issue it only takes about 20-30 minutes on typical to completely charge its got a range of 80 feet. You require 6-AA batteries for the remote manage and the heli utilizes the controller to charge itself by means of a connector directly from the controller itself. So in order to charge the heli you drain the controllers batteries. All in all its a excellent buy if you can get it for $45 a piece like I did as mini helis of this size and build good quality go for typically $55-$75 in most malls. I just couldn't pass this up because the canopy looked astounding. I own about five other IR (infra-red which means INDOOR ONLY helis as direct sunlight outside causes interference with the signal rendering them unstable and in operable) helis and some come close but this beats them all out in construct high quality, attractiveness/appearance, and overall enjoyable-aspect. I now personal each the Gold and Black Cloud Force helis!
As a side note:
I own a Syma S107 three channel mini indoor co-axial metal body helicopter and for some time I thought to be it the greatest I could get till I stumbled upon these from Brookstone! If your looking for an option to the Cloud Forces I advocate this heli as its just as excellent but comes with a USB CHARGER so no need to have to charge from the controller supplied, still, you DO have the option to do so from the controller if your away from a pc considering it also has a charging connector built into the controller like this Cloud Force heli does.
ALSO Remember THESE ARE INFRA-RED HELIS Meaning THEY ARE MEANT TO BE FLOWN INDOORS AWAY FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND WIND!

I flew four channel helis a when back. so the understanding curve was not steep. I can not believe how durable and stable this small thingy is.
It takes 4-ten flights to get applied to but then this is one of the best indoor micro helis.
pros: stable, extended flying time, durable, some additional parts.
cons: weak lending gear, the forward/backward control is not smooth sensitive adequate maybe needs a greater motor, slow charging time,
I'm on my 3rd one now. All 3 are flyable. Two are on charger whilst 3rd one is flying.
I'd like to compare them and yes they have personalities. the Gold/Yellow one is far more active. The black/red ones are smoother. Some are louder some are quieter.
ps: right here are some rules that I followed though finding out
1. Try to hold it in in constant hight with the tail facing. Heli goes quicker down and slower up. It takes some time to get use to the throttle
2. Balance rotation with +/- buttons so that the tail does not turn.
3. Fly forward and backward NO turns. You'd notice that heli losses the height when flying backwards
four. Fly forward and backward in a narrower space, You'd notice that you can keep it in a constant height a lot easier
5. Time to start out with modest circles and move to makings eights.
6. Landing on small foot by foot spots. Attempt a stool landing
7. Fun goes on ... :)
