It was easy to fly and adjustment were favorable. My only problem was the shaft broke. That was my problem, as I crashed it being my fault. I would buy again. I replaced the shaft and we are back in the air for less than $20. Its the cost of doing business with this toys.

Patience comes to mind first off. Yes you will need an Exacto knife, glue, pins, wax paper. First and foremost, go slow, take your time. This is a great model, it is hanging from our ceiling and allways gets a discussion going..Just how close is his legs to the belt?? for instance. Go for it If you really goog, get another one, it is that good Bob

Since it is a model, I had to use an exacto knife to trim some of the parts. But, if the kid has good manual dexterity, it can be put together. I don't play with it, it sits on a shelf with my others Star Wars collection.

I had to do a lot of modifying. I used a box cutter to cut on all 4 circles so the propellers wouldn't touch. But I used it once and haven't tried it again. Maybe it's too heavy, it just flew awkward with it.

Unfortunately, I am down in FL for winter and don't have trimmer or paperwork available. It is not light and may be tedious for a person with limited strength. I initially had trouble with the starter cord and on-off switch, but both were resolved.

Hey. So how did this go? I'd like to try this as well. Figure it would take dust etc out on the air even with the be best on. Any insight would be appreciate! Thx.

Send it back and get a V912 sky dancer it's a four channel RC the most fun and challenging RC helicopter for the money you will love it. I have a 9118 but got board with it very fast. Once you master a 4 channel V912 sky dancer you will absolutely love it and you will have to hold it back it has big time speed and priced very affordably.

I would think a skilled carpenter or tile guy would be able to trim the base with the proper tools.its a high density foam so a good saw and steady hand should do just fine. But on a side note I did not have to trim mine at all.

Think you'll be fine. I only really had experience with cheap 30$ birds and a lot of call of duty helicopter flying, I you have a big room you'll be fine, hardest par is learning to launch it, get it off the ground quick with some immediate right bank and after that it flys pretty smooth, parts are cheap and it's easy to fix

Anyone in the world can fly a syma 107.... anything duel bladed is way to easy, wanna start getting into collective pitch helicopters start off with something like the blade 120sr its big enough for outside yet small enough for indoors. Its not very expensive and is ideal for getting into helicopters like these

absolutely. i would say that it wont get super close as other trimmers but i still think it's a solid piece.

I got one a year ago and it's still going strong. Recently a friend's first one had a dead motor. He returned it and got a replacement; it could not be trimmed to hover. I think quality control has slipped.

Close but it takes careful trim and no wind. I can't always do it on demand.

Hope, I don't believe you can extend that model any further. Also it would not be easy to use the saw portion of it at that length. It's hard to use it at the current length when extended all the way out. The lopper would be ok if you could extend it further. I use it often. The way to go is to buy a separate lopper and pole saw it is much easier to use when the two heads are separate from each other. Corona sells a combo set for like $300 dollars or it least it use to. It's a lot of money unless you can afford it or you use the equipment a lot. When I worked for a local tree service that's the way are equipment was. Separate lopper heads and separate saw heads. :) Hope, I don't believe you can extend that model any further. Also it would not be easy to use the saw portion of it at that length.

If your thinking about purchasing this item I would recommend against it. I bought one about six months ago and within three weeks it stopped working. I would suggest you buy an Aurora AU1050XE instead. It costs a little more but shreds using crosscut blades.

Requires just a little trimming and it works great. You'll know where to trim when you try it.

You can trim it by configuring some buttons. But it is far better to buy the trim wheel (what I did).
