GoolRC C129 RC Helicopter, 4 Channel 2.4Ghz Remote Control Helicopter with 6-Axis Gyro, Aileronless RC Helicopters with Altitude Hold, Landing Pad and 2 Batteries (Orange)

This little heli is awesome! It has two gears for mellow flight or a go with a bit more pep, which I figured out by reading some else’s review here. The instructions only show that there is a button to switch the gears. It has auto take off and landing or you can do it manually. The three batteries give plenty of flight time. Great little heli to learn 4 channel. Now let’s talk about it being good for beginners! The answer to that is kind of. There are a few different types of helicopters that vary in difficulty of flying. The most simple type to fly is a 3 channel that can go up-down, forward-backward and it can turn left and right. I see that some reviews have compared this heli to those and that is a mistake. This helicopter is a four channel helicopter which adds the ability to now fly sideways left and right which brings a new dimension into play. That fact alone does make it more difficult to fly than the three channel helis. This heli will also fly quite a bit quicker than a three channel will, adding to the challenge. There are much more difficult heli to fly, which are collective pitch heli so this is definitely beginner level when compared to that. I would recommend this heli for someone getting into the hobby but it will take some time to learn how to fly well. Not really for small kids.

Fairly stable helicopter for a beginner. One touch landing button worked well and acted like a safe when I got it out of control. Can be very fast if you move the sticks a lot, so there is a lot of fun in it for a more experienced pilot as well. I flew it in the garage the first time to avoid any wind. I was able to trim it pretty well. My only complaint is that it loses it’s trim every time you land and shut the motor off. It needs trim to hover every time you take off, but the trim was never very far off. It just wouldn’t hover without trim. The transmitter is cheap but worked very well. For what you pay for this, the compromises are acceptable. I could trim it to move forward slowly and use the tail boom control to turn in a controlled circle in either direction. I could pretty much cut the throttle and it would land on its own. The best thing about it was its resilience. I crashed it into things in the garage five times the first day and it never broke. The only problem I had was keeping its speed down when it got out of control. I would over compensate making things worse. I learned to release the sticks and hit the land button. If you can find a large indoor space or a totally calm day to begin flying, that would be better. I wouldn’t start in a living room as a beginner. The battery time was surprising. It states 15 minutes and I got that. It takes a little more than an hour to charge the battery, so the versions with multiple batteries are better. The instructions are riddled with errors. You need to read them to figure out how to bind the heli and controller and how to start it up and how to charge the batteries, but that’s it. It comes completely assembled. You just need four AA batteries. It pretty much just landed when the battery dies. It never shut off all at once so you just land when it starts slowing down. I don’t know how long it will last, but it’s a lot of fun for now. The value is there. It does fly and is about as good as it gets to learn on.

W0W! I can’t believe how easy it is to fly this little helicopter outside. It’s fairly fast, very responsive, stable and agile. Surprisingly, it handles a mild wind with ease. The tail hold is exceptional, and not twitchy. I recommend a beginner learning orientation to start outside. This helicopter can really move at full speed. It looks fragile, but can take a beating on the grass. For the money it’s a ton of fun!! My third helicopter in 2 months is a XK-110S CP helicopter. I’m hooked!!

This is a cool helicopter. works great but for learners who might crash it...no way...its not durable at all... the tail motor stopped working after 2 minor crashes in the same day it arrived..Not a good training heli. The V2 version is even less durable...tail motor stopped working after 1 minor crash from 2 inches off the ground..

This helicopter is so easy to fly. The altitude hold is a joy. It features a button to take off and land. I fly outside all the time. The helicopter handles a light breeze with ease. I've flown it several times a day for a few months, even crashing occasionally and it's still going strong.

Great For Beginners And A Good Price. Alot of Fun For Those Just Getting Into Flying.. Before Buying A Really Expensive One, Start With Something like This First..

It's a good product flies fine with a lot of electronic hand holding but arrived with a missing linkage rod and Amazon was unable to help and the company itself had terrible customer support that didn't reply.

This is my review after having this Helicopter for several months. I will try to cover all the complaints in the reviews. I am giving this item 4 stars but pretty much works as expected. This heli flies well only in light wind, about 1 mile and under. It does not have enough power and is too light for medium wind conditions. I have had many great flights, no crashes once I learned how to fly it. Before that I crashed it many times (all my bad). It is quite durable and only had some light scuffing. Keep in mind it can get destroyed if the crash is great enough like any other copter. If you are learning, fly it in wide open areas weather inside or out. This way it will be very hard to damage it. By design, each time you crash, the main gear may drop down and disengage to keep it from damaging the gear teeth. That is a good thing, just push it back up. Has auto take off and landing. For manual take off, give it some reasonable throttle taking it up 2 or 3 feet, otherwise it may drag across the ground. Some people are saying it goes out-of-control. Every time you start or have a crash, recalibrate it (it's in the directions/easy). Taking the battery out: Grab the copter firmly by the landing skids, and gently wiggle the battery out (no problem). Con: Dead bandwidth areas. Move the sticks in very small increments especially the yaw. Also has reasonably long flight time. All this considered, it is a pretty good Heli and can fly very well for under a hundred bucks. I learned how to fly so much better this helicopter. I highly recommend it. If still in doubt, there are many YouTube videos on this model for you to watch.
