My son purchased this item to go with his Iphone. [...]. It is very durable and once you learn the controls it is pretty cool how awesome he can fly this. Now it did crash a few times at first but no damage to it at all. It would be nice if it had a longer battery time but I think it goes longer than the battery operated ones we have had in the past.

This is the 1st RC helicopter I've ever owned and within 5 mins of operating I was able to fly it with no problems at all. Don't go by the 1st review. It does say right on the box for ages14 plus, Approx 8 mins of fly time to 35 mins of charge time and what version of iOS device's can be used. Sometimes you have to get beyond the pictures and actually read stuff!! Item is very durable, have crashed it several times with no damage at all.

On the box it clearly states ages 14 AND UP and you indicated your child is 13. On the left or west side of the box it clearly states "Flight Time - approx. 8 mins". Granted this unit does take time to get used to but once you get your "Wings" which clearly you guys didn't it becomes much easier. As for your husband......I'm not trying to break up a happy home but maybe you're married to the wrong guy and he isn't as "techy" as he claims. Then again, maybe you' re a "GOOD COOK". I'm picking up a second unit today just out of spite of your review in hopes this product succeeds wildly.

Bought this helicopter both as a gift for a friend and also for my 13 year old son. It has an 8 minute total charge. EIGHT MINUTES! Nowhere on the outside of the package did it say this. After charging it for the 30 required minutes, I still expected to be able to fully enjoy it for the limited amount of time it offered. No such luck. It's nearly impossible to fly, even in open spaces, and takes more expertise than even my otherwise techy husband could muster. Keep in mind, too, that your basic itouch won't work. It has to be the latest version. We don't have iphones but used our ipad, thinking that would suffice. It [....], to be frank. [$$] bucks for a toy that will more than likely be thrown in the trash tomorrow. I feel so embarassed about giving it to my friend!
