Kids (8-12) and BeginnersMy Review
I've tested lot's of different indoor mini helicopters and I recently came across one that I cannot compare to any other I have flown, the Helizone Firebird. This indoor electric helicopter is ideal for any beginner who has never owned or flown an RC helicopter before. Most mini helicopters are hard to control. I could barely hover, much less control where the rc helicopter went. The Helizone Firebird has a built in gyro which locks the mini helicopter in place for easy control. The Helizone Firebird's throttle response is amazing. Because it is a 3 channel helicopter, you can actually fly them from point "a" to point "b" and even fly backwards too!
What I find most impressive about the Helizone Firebird is that the body of the helicopter is made out of a metal alloy frame (which means that it is hard to break). One of my friends wanted to see how much the Helizone Firebird could take and flew the helicopter up into the air about 30-40ft and once the remote control lost it's frequency because of the distance, the Firebird dropped and landed in a tree. After many attempts to get the Firebird out of the tree with a basketball, it finally came crashing down. The Amazing thing was that though the Firebird had crashed, it still flew with such precision like it had not crashed multiple times. No one could tell or even believe that the helicopter had gone through so much abuse once they saw how great it flew.
