I think for a 4 year old this would be too much. It would be better to start out with the 3 channel syma 107G helicopter. It is much easier to learn on.

I would not advice giving this to your 4 years old. because this is a 4ch single blade helicopter. If your boy has flown a coaxial(2 blade) helicopter its ok, but if he is just learning I would advice getting a syma s107. this is one of the best and easy to fly indoors but not out doors. I gave one to my daughter and she hasn't flown any helicopter, and she flew it very easy she said. But caution is also needed because of the rotating blades can also cause injuries.

I agree with the other two comments about being to difficult for a four year old to operate. I also think the Syma S107 would be a good choice (I have one myself). As the child's skill builds in time they will be able to move up to a fixed pitch 4 channel like the V911. If not the Syma S107, lAmazon sells many coaxial 3 channel which will be much easier to operate .

This one may be a little much for a 4 year old. I would go with a syma s107. It's sold on amazon. It's a lot easier to control.

well fellow, the helicopter is great fun until the battery is gone and with a usb recharger cord you only extend the time of flying. Remember that, this toys is not a professional one and therefore you could not expect too much of this . Any way, I recommend this toy for children who are beginners.... For additional information look for linparts.com where you will find accessories for wltoys S977 helicopter. Have a nice day!

I would recommend this for 4 years old and up if playing it on the road. At home, as long as your child can talk, it should be fine

I gave one to my 9 year old daughter last year and she flies it very well. If your boy can be calm and is fairly responsible, then he will be fine. Order a couple extra top propellers because that's the piece that takes the most abuse. Also, be sure to unplug the battery after use as running Lipo batteries dead ruins them. This helicopter is a good way to get into flying or teach kids, and its a far better buy than the cheaper ones you can get at Walmart as most hobby shops and many online retailers stock replacement parts.

This helicopter is great for young children. It's easy to fly and will hover great and the throttle isn't spring loaded so you can set the speed and hover and it will stay there. Kids love to watch it and even take the controls. I had a 5 year old fly it. Plus it will take some hard hits without breaking.

My 7 yr old can fly it. But crashes it often. Likely won't last long as a child's you.

We bought two of these for our 2 1/2 year old twin boys for Christmas, and they love them. They are bigger than they look, and they go fast (I have to run to keep up with them). Unless your boy is tall for his age, I would recommend getting a smaller one or holding off 6 months or so for this big of a quad. My boys started riding smaller quads at 1 1/2 years old so they were used to them and ready for this size. Good luck!

it kinda does especially for a little one but I guess you can always help him. Believe me, the toy has more fun than inconviniences. Eventually, he´ll develop the skill to not drop it. I bought it for my 18 month old ( she´s 26 months now ) and I´m super happy with it. Enjoy!

Probably not but they would grow into it sooner than you can imagine I got mine for my twin grandbabies on their first birthday and it was a few months later the day started showing interest and now they ride it with no problem and they are 20 months old

the propellor has to be able to disconnect, in order to fly. My boy (11) says it is true what you say, and it is correct. we think the kit is terrific. My boy is 50% autistic, and gets a great kick out of it. he will design robots one day.

Yes and no. Yes, if the child is 8 or above and is fairly responsible for that age. Here's why -- The helicopter works best indoors, due to it's remote working via infrared light, not radio waves. You have to point the remote at the helicopter for the heli to "see" the signal. Working outside, the sun often "blinds" the heli to the remote's signal. So, works better inside. But, if it's used inside, even though it works really well there, curtains, walls, and anything sitting on a table is at risk of damage by the heli's rotor blades. So, if you have a large open area, free from things that could be tipped over or damaged by this toy, you're ok, otherwise the level of responsibility of the child operating it would be a huge factor. Add to that, although the heli is very responsive to the remote's commands, it takes a bit of time to learn how to control the heli well. My eight-year-old grandson learned how to control it well in about 15 minutes. Until then, objects in the the living room suffered. So, depending on the child, the answer is "yes or no".

I've used mine several times with my now 3.5 year old son, it hasn't broken yet. It isn't as stable as I'd like it to be, but he still plays with it as a toy even though I haven't travelled with him more than a handful of times.

There isn't much to it. If your son likes rescue bots then he will like this toy but there isn't much room for him to grow with it. So if you don't mind buying something that he might only like for 6 months or a year then have at it understanding what it can offer.

Hello Patricia, instructions manual states that it's for older than 14 year old kids, but most little kids, even some toddlers, are able to fly RC helicopters easily. It just takes practice. This particular helicopter flies faster and is stronger. So, adult supervision is suggested as you stated. Hope this helps!

I Alyse, I gave it to my nephew on his birthday when he completed 2 years old. He knew how to use the pedals, but use the steer wheel was a lil confusing. However, I think if your son practices four or five times, he will be fine. By the way, it is a great present to share with other kids.

You can get larger batteries for these to last longer. I am ordering some 145 or some 150 mah and they have larger ones I think. Not sure of a 5-7 years olds skill, but if you get this heli and trim it for them and tech them, they should be able to learn. Just order some spare parts online so if you do break something you can fix quickly and fly some more. But I would not use larger capacity batteries and fly 2 of them back to back, I would let the motors cool some first. I am looking into adding some very lightweight heatsinks to both the main and tail motor on mine to keep them cooler for longer run-time batteries. The micro sized Walkera Super FP, I think has much larger batteries and is very very durable. I am looking into one of those with brush-less motors, but it cost 3 times this heli and that is with no transmitter. they sell a non-brush-less version with a TX for a little over double this heli. But this is a great and affordable heli to start with so I would say get one and order some more batteries and spare parts. I ordered main and tail motor spares from the Nine eagles Bravo SX cause they are said to be better. But some say they never changed a motor out.
