Client Reviews

Good little RC helicopter to fly indoors (does not operate properly outside).
LED lights are especially cool to watch.
You want a tiny coordination to use the remote when flying.
Trying to control the UP/DOWN Left/Correct Forward/Reverse etc. at the identical time is not as simple and easy as I thought. Just after numerous practice flights, it becomes less difficult and a lot of Enjoyable
If yours quit working, and the bottom blades quit spinning....
Don't THROW AWAY... its nevertheless fantastic.
The identical thing occurred to me, crashing into walls and objects, I thought all was lost, and the helicopter was "finished".
You just have to have to come across the small gear that came off, mine was stuck beneath the nose piece.
The impact and torque from the crashes triggered the little gear for the bottom set of blades "B", to slip off the shaft of the little motor, or mis-aligned from touching the Significant sprocket gear. Take the helicopter apart, locate the gear, and slip the tiny gear back into spot.
See Youtube video, this was seriously useful (search - "how to repair 339 helicopter").
Make certain you maintain all the small screws in the appropriate order and make positive everything is put back together the identical way you took it apart.
Beneficial Luck and happy flying!

I've only flown this one a couple of occasions, but it seems highly fine. And I say this following getting tried 7 other models. I like Viefly models because they are rather durable, and do not tend to break readily...being that, they are lighter plastic units, but also for the reason that they appear to be built properly. And they are simple to manage. But they (like pretty much all plastic heli's) tend to shoot-up and hit the ceiling when 1st launched after a 'full charge' for the reason that they are so light weight. So, I decided to attempt this metal Viefly, and so far so wonderful. It does tend to hit the ceiling 'sometimes' upon take-off (just just after a complete charge), so I have to be just a small pre-emptive in de-throttling the controller just just after a complete power take-off. But if I'm just a small cautious, I can steer clear of that...which I can't often steer clear of on most plastic models. And this unit's flight characteristics are nice, with superior straight forward motion, and only a minimum need to have to adjust the trim from time to time. But I'll report back later as I test it a great deal more, and let you know about durability and flight duration time. The top element is that it is not More than-RESPONSIVE (such as when offered a slight command to turn it really is nose 'a bit left'... it does not go 'way too far' left, and so on. like on other models...some even start out turning in a full counterclockwise circle when given just a little command to turn its nose 'left'). By the way, the webpage does not mention this, but it does come with a USB connector cord. As I stated, I'll report back extra as I fly it alot more, but so far its one of the most stable, durable units I've flown. I've had an additional 1 which was even far more stable than this one particular, but that one particular was so poorly constructed, the gear that turns the lower rotor fell off the motor shaft with just a single bump into my cushioend couch arm. So, I'd take durability over slightly superior flight characteristics anyday. At least, the unit will 'last' significantly more than one day.
