It is remote control and would be fine for a 12 year old but there is a learning curve if they have never flown one before. If they are patient it's a great gift. Otherwise try an indoor only starter one (which is also loads of fun).

This is indeed remote controlled. Whether or not it is appropriate for a 12 year old depends entirely on the 12 year old. If they have any experience with a remote controlled helicopter before, then this would be a fine gift for them. If they have no such experience but enjoy the challenge of mastering a new skill and have a great deal of patience then this may also be a good gift. If they have no RC experience and don't handle crashes well, I would suggest a coaxial 3-channel helicopter instead. They are much easier to fly, though this will be more rewarding if and when it is mastered.

It is a remote control. I wouldn't suggest this as a first helicopter for a child; 12 year old to learn on, as it is a 4 channel helicopter. Now if he/she has had plenty of practice and is proficient with a 3 channel helicopter, this is definitely the next step up from there. It is an awesome 4 channel flying helicopter, but I personally feel it is a graduated step up from the basics of a 3 channel helicopter. I recommend the Syma S107/S107G R/C Helicopter Helicopters for starters. They are some excellent 3 channel; up/down, left/right, forward/backward flying helicopters for anyone that is just learning to fly and you can usually buy them for around $20. I hope this helps.

Yes it is remote control. I looked at several others and noted that a lot of them were not built for flying outdoors but this one was and it flew amazingly well. I bought it for my grandsons' 6th birthday and he could fly it just fine. When he suggested that grandma fly it, she crashed it but nothing broke. I was really quite surprised with it especially for the price. Hope this helps

Yes, it's radio controlled. As for the suitability for a 12 year old I'd have to say that these are difficult to to learn on. My suggestion is to start by learning to master a coaxial infrared remote controlled copter like the Syma S108G. They can be flown indoors and are the best way to learn the basics of remote controlled flying. Trust me... there's a big learning curve to mastering these birds.

This model comes with a remote. My son really enjoys this toy he is eighteen.

Nope, not that I've found. But if you are generally able to use IPods, use a computer and cell phone, dont have trouble figuring out how to use a remote control (like some older parents do) - Then once you toy around a bit, you will figure it all out. I just plugged mine in, charged it and pushed some buttons and it was fine... for using the radio and playing music off an mp3... especially if you just are using for when you travel. Anything more than that I cant attest to.

My 4 year old understood how to play with it, so it will definitely be appropriate for your 12 year old. These guys have done am amazing job making electronic components easy to use and a lot of fun.

Sure is. We bought for our sons 6 th birthday. You'll have to show him around the remote. We've had for 2 years now and working fine

You can buy a remote control on Ebay, for $5.99. I just got one. Yes, it comes from China, but it WORKS!

Yes, a wireless remote control that my 11 year old had mastered within a couple flights. I, on the other hand, am still more of a novice. I'm able to control the helicopter but not execute the precision maneuvers that my son does.

No. There is no remote control for this. It runs on a predetermined route to find its way around your house.

Yes. This truly is a great remote, it works perfectly. I will buy it again when I need another one.

This thing is basically the same as a really long virtual HDMI cord. It has nothing to do with remote control at all. It's for hdmi based video and audio transmission.

hey C. Walker. No it can not. and to be honest with you, I wouldnt recommed this product. I did get it for my 7 year old, but regardles of age, if I had just spend a little bit more, i would have gotten a remote control car that packed a bit more power in to satisfy. Plus, it breaks way too easy.

it doesn't come with a remote controller. however it has digital buttons to control your gadgets (if I remember correctly). it has been a long time since I used it last.

No, do not have remote control, the sound system is not really good, only the battery works well and the display, the volume button is hard to access

no, it did not come with a remote control. I was very disappointed in the quality of this unit.

Hi Adrian, It does not come with a remote control. Remote is sold separetely or you might find it best to control using an iOS device.
