I have one of these POS. I bought it when they came out a year ago...
The funny thing about them is they are like the uncontrollable gas
heli. You pull the trigger and get the hell out of the way!!!! You will
have people running for their lives in your local park. You would be
better off getting one of those pull props where you hold the handle,
pull on the string and the plastic prop goes up into the air (you can
at least control which direction it is going and if you hit someone
with it you wont put out their eye :) )
If you really want one of these they go for 10 bucks on ebay.

I bought one of the "Airhogs" (same thing) last year for my son for X-Mas and
was very disapointed with it. The heli is all over the place and will only
hover if your lucky enoght to "hit" conditions just right. The R/C Flying
Saucer out this year will hover nice and looks to be a X MAS hit this year for
the kids and few adults. I checked out the ones we bought our kids and had a
blast.

Actually, I almost did put my eye out with one of those birds.

What crap! If someone wanted an inexpensive RC electric helicopter
I'd recommend the BladeRunner hands down over your ripoff of the good
Humblebee name. And its only 10 bucks more!
Gee! The ad says your Humblebee has Rotor speed "and" altitude control.
Hmm... lets see, increase the rotor speed and it increases the
altitude. Wow!
When it comes to indoor helicopter flight on a shoestring budget its
hard to beat the Bladerunner. Granted, it's a toy... but it utilizes
2 high quality motors (main and rotor) as well as an on-board
"Li-Po" battery, light weight receiver, a 3 channel proportional
controller with rudder and throttle mixing. (i.e. two electronic
speed controllers for the main motors and a bi-directional rotor for
the tail
Heres a video so you can see it in action:

FYI: I'm not affiliated with rctoys.com... they just have one of the
better Bladerunner videos.
You can find them all day long on ebay! Average selling price about $60
US. Google the net and you can find a lot more of them. Just make sure
its not some rip off company stealing the Bladerunner name. Heck you
can even get them from QVC.com. Yep... radio, charger, transmitter
(with trim tabs)... the whole nine yards. Lots of fun and the price is
right.
