Absolute peice of crap. On its first flight it had zero control and crashed and the whole tail fell off. Not worth 50$, maybe 15$. Don buy this waste of styrofoam.

I bought two of these for my boys for Christmas INCLUDING extra props. Neither of them flew well at all. I have an AR Drone and it works awesome but these???? I thought they would be good starters. What a waste. Both of them could never hover decent no matter how many new props I put on or how I adjusted them. I adjusted the elevators and trims like it says in the manuals but that didn't do anything. I'm very saddened to see Traxxas put their name on such garbage. My boys were sooooooo disappointed they thought they had great copters like Daddy now. Very disappointed. Neither are working now and I hope in time they will forget about them.

I ordered this because of the reviews. Yes, I am new to flying these things, but considered that before making the review. The instructions are worthless. It says it has headless flying, but it does not tell you which button on the control engages the headless mode. The Quad is marked AA and BB so you will replace the props in the correct location, but the props have no letters. They are marked 8 and 7. The extra props are marked 5 and 6. I took this to a pro so he could fine tune it for me. He got it to fly for a while. He told me the controls were very touchy and it was not designed for a beginner. He had to readjust it several times to get it stable. After four to five minutes, it quit working for him. The Pro suggested I buy a Syma product if I was interested in learning, as this thing is frustrating for for an advanced user. We never did figure out what the front button is used for. It is not mentioned in instructions. On the positive side, it does flip in the air and it is very fast for it's size.

I would avoid this one.  As I understand it, when it works well, it is a great copter.  Do some googling though and you'll find that it has big quality problems.  Mine flew fairly erratically from the start.  I started applying trim and that made it worse.  Tried resetting the trim and starting over.  No help.  Took off the props to make there was no hair around the shafts, there wasn't.  I'm not an expert but I have a Syma 12 that flies like a dream and I can control it just fine.  It appears that the accelerometer in this one just cannot cope.  Essentially, when it goes up in the air, I never know what will happen.  It will veer left, right, forward, back.  I can apply trim until it kind-of-sort-of hovers when I first take off, but then the second I try to steer it, it goes berserk and smacks into a wall.

Considering I've never gotten this to fly well for even five seconds, I'm giving this one star.  If you get lucky and get a good one, and it lasts, you'll probably love it.  Mine was bad from the moment it came out of the box.

I feel sorry for anyone who thinks this will actually fly and hover like a drone.  I got this as a Christmas present.  Out of the box it is obvious plastic China garbage.  To install you need a ultra small phillips screwdriver.  (Why I have no idea, since the screw seems to have no purpose).  After charging and installing batteries I finally got the remote and drone synced, although the remote continues to beep.  Attempting to fly will result in your drone flying into a wall and smashing into the floor.  Hours of fine tuning will only result in the same experience.  I've seen paper airplanes fly better.  This is a total piece of garbage.

The quadcopter keep spinning when more throttle applied adjusting the rudder did not help.
it was totally unusable.

I bought this as a Christmas present. It flew away the second time trying to fly it...the thing just kept going higher and flying away. Nothing on the controller would do anything to change the direction or even get it to turn. It was like watching $100 fly right out of my wallet, never to be seen again.

Does not fly, absolutely no uplift, poor design. Complete rip- off!

Now I'm a first time flyer but seeing all the other reviews about how durable this thing is I thought that I could learn to fly on it. I took it out for a short maybe seven minute flight and of course there were a few (not serious at all) crashes before the engines cut out and wouldn't do anything even though the lights were on. "No big deal" I thought and I put it away to charge for an hour. After this not even the lights would turn on let alone the engines. I'm returning it and I don't think I'll get another.

Worked good first flights indoor.  Took it outside twice.  The first flight was fine but the next one I lost connection with the remote it flew away carrying my GoPro.  I couldn't find it. Wate of money.  Buy a more reliable drone.  I was out flying it at the thing that goes on the controller to change the direction fell of  a got lost and I had to use a screw as a replacment.  Very cheaply made.

I would give this drone a zero if I could. After the 5th flight on the second day the Drone took off on its own and no emergency stop, return home or land woodwork. There were multiple GPS lock-ons and the returned home in GPS symbol were green. For what the Viper is advertised to do, it won't. Mine ended up in a tree 100 meters away. Save your money and invest it on a proven drone. The parts that make up this strong are cheap plastic and faulty circuit boards.

I'm shocked by the positive reviews for this product. I would HAVE to guess that they are completely fake. Firstly, the plane is extremely fragile. It's made of a very light-weight Styrofoam and was actually broken when we received it. Because I had zero time to get another gift, I glued it and we tried to use it. The thing has little to no control, moves very fast  and has  a loud annoying sound - it's NOT meant for use indoors, but it's so fragile that using it outdoors would near guarantee a problem very quickly. The controls are weak and the plane loses connectivity with the controller after flying just a few feet away, it stops and drops to the ground. It held continued fun for my smaller children, who drove it around on the linoleum for hours, but anyone older than 7 or 8 would tire of this useless, easily breakable and uncontrollable "plane" very quickly. DO NOT TRUST THE POSITIVE REVIEWS. They have got to be fraudulent.

I brought this drone for my son's father for his birthday it was working fine when he first got it then the next day he took it out to see how it flew in the air it wouldn't take off the drone stopped working!! I will never buy this type of drone ever again!

I hated this helicopter the first time I flew it the battery lasted 3 minutes and it lost landing gear and also broke a wing and the remote controls busted after 1 minute

Do not buy this plane!!

This is a 3 piece styrofoam airplane. The two wings are TAPED on to the body with clear plastic tape. The remote is not responsive at all. After three 5-8 second flight attempts, the plane no longer works. It is a complete waste of money.

Buyer beware!!!

I got one 5 min flight out of the box and noticed it had a slight angle to the climb. But it was contollable for sure. So I charged it and gave it a second go, as soon as it took off it shot up like a cannon at a 45 deg angle away from me and so i backed off throttle completely to get it to drop and hit throttle again and this time it flew farther away at same angle and kept going, i ran after it and kept trying to get it to drift back to me as it went higher and farther away with my finger off the throttle completely mind you. And watched as i ran out out chase real estate and watched $73 drift over the horizon never to be seen again. The props hit the guards causing it to wobble, the instructions are useless and full of mistakes and just wrong info period. The camera footage i pulled from 1st only flight looked like an old surveillance camera than someone hadnt cleaned the lens off in 10 years. This is not the first RC drone i have had or flown but surely will be the last from this company. If you are really considering this do yourself the favor and take the $65+ and go light it on fire and see if it takes longer than it did for me to watch mine fly out of control away
