Would you recommend the "V398 3.5 Channel Missile Shooting RC Helicopter RTF with Six Missiles rapid fire (Red)" or this product?

Was a 2013 Christmas gift for my 10 yr old. It was fun to fly and the rockets worked good but the skids are weak and broke quickly! I would recommend better made products?

We couldn't get the thing off the ground. The blades rotated and it made a lot of noise, just wouldn't fly.

I liked the toy RC helicopter just not the supplier for it was missing a key part to flight

I have had both H288 and Syma 107 and they are similar, I like the Syma107 better. Amazon has the best price

I would say it's for intermediate/beginner. It's like the syma s108g except you can an go left/right as well. If you've already gotten good with a coaxial helicopter (the two bladed kind) you probably want to go for a 1 bladed one like the Blade 120 SR. If you want a super expert one, go for the Blade nano CP or some other collective pitch heli.

If you are interested at all in advancing your skills and learning to fly bigger RC helicopters, get the MCX or better yet the MCX2. These are 4 channel helis and the controls will be correct on the transmitter. The Scout is 3 channel and the controls will not teach you how to fly an RC helicopter correctly.

Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, we do not carry additional sets of missiles for this unit. If you need further assistance, please let me know. Thank you.

Don't waste your money better to check out helipad.com where there many quad copters helicopters. I recently purchase a quad copter from propel excellent choice demonstrated at FAO Schwarz worth every penny. So as far as range a big fat ZERO

I would look at real flight or phoenix you don't really need the same model as collective pitch helicopter are similar exp fly bar and fly bar less. This is not a beginner helicopter it is better to start with a co ax and go from there. The p phoenix flight Sim is compatible with the same transmitter that all blade helicopters can use. You might want to look at the heli freak forums (goggle it) the members there are a fountain of knowledge and are willing to help any one.

Should be similar to the v911, a little better though - flybarless is definitely better than flybarred. I say go for it, especially now the price is low! Just take your time learning it. I also recommend getting a Spektrum DX6i transmitter if you don't already. It's a great first "real" transmitter and works out of the box with all the Blade helicopters. You'll fly better than with the plastic included one, and it'll be all you need all the way up to large helis.

Hi Cuda - we had real problems with this unit right out of the box, and we were beginnners. It immediately flew 'crazy', and we couldn't figure out how to trim it correctly, and within 2 days were too frustrated to continue. We looked at numerous youtube videos in trying to trouble-shoot, but never got the issues resolved so we sent it back. We then bought the Traxxas 6608 LaTrax Alias Quad-Rotor Ready-To-Fly Helicopter, and had zero problems with it. The learning curve is virtually the same as the 180QX so for a beginner I would recommend it. It's very durable and hard landings haven't been an issue (as long as it lands on grass). Hard landings on asphalt or concrete will damage it (as expected). Hope this helps...

Yes. It's a complete, RTF (Ready To Fly) package with helicopter, controller, LIPO battery and LIPO charger. All that you have to provide are the AA batteries for the controller.

Ron, I just bought one of these. Wondered if you found a scope, red dot, etc. that you liked. Thanks.

No. It is rtf. I also have a V911 and you can use either transmitter to fly either Heli.

Yes, but it's not what you want to use. These are very loud and gobble power, you what something with a big low pitch prop. If you're asking this question you are new to RC Quads so I'd say you would be better off going to Tower hobbies or HobbyKing to get one that is proven to work.

Yes. It comes RTF means Ready To Fly. It comes with a charger and eight batteries for the charger and the radio. It comes with one battery for the helicopter but additional batteries are relatively cheap.

I'll put it this way. I already own one. I'm purchasing another just because of the kick ass price. crashed it 100x and never broke anything. just remember to power down in case of imminent doom and u should break anything. of course the surface you are "landing" on has alot to do with its durability and mostly i fly over grass. also if you look at the parts, they are all seperate and easy to replace and pretty damn cheap. I had to send mine to helimax right out of the box. the T.A.G.S. was malfunctioning and the transmitter wouldn't always go all the way down on the throttle (bad pot?). anyways they sent me a ups label and had it back to me in no time. I complained that it was my first helimax product and i was disappointed because the heli and the transmitter both were defective but they insisted it was a fluke and upgraded my swash to compensate me for my lost time. that was enough to get my business over and over. They did not question if i had crashed the chopper or not. they took my word for it.

Yes Doug, the 4th channel is movement sideways left or right. The F3 is a great heli andI am sure that you will enjoy it. Take it easy, it is fast to rise. Lots of power to weight.

Any of the realistic sims that either use your radio or a replica of an actual radio will work. I use AeroFly 5 myself. If you practice flying one of the harder to fly 6 channel collective pitch helicopters you will easily be able to fly this help
