This new release from Syma is now easier to fly and significantly more stable than it's ever been. The cutting edge micro-motor and dual-rotor coaxial design merge together to create a well-rounded RC helicopter. This makes a great gift to fly around the home or office.

3.0Need to improve the instructions.2010-02-17PROS Easy To AssembleCONS BEST USES HomeComments about ZZZ - S009 AH-64 Apache Remote Control Helicopter:
Instructions are very poorly written in second grade Chinese English! The instructions need to be re-written by someone who knows English. The approach to the Trim and other Adjustments should be better illustrated. May be, the units should be Trimmed correctly before leaving the factory. Otherwise, the toy appears to well made.

4.0Great chopper2009-12-20PROS Easy To UseCONS BEST USES HomeComments about ZZZ - S009 AH-64 Apache Remote Control Helicopter:
My first RC Helli. Came perfect out of the box. Directions are poorly written (in broken English in some places) but understandable enough to get you flying.
I've had several crashes and it's help up well but definitely consider the size of the room in which you're flying it. This chopper really takes off and it takes a little while to become an accomplished flyer if your a newbie like me.
I would not recommend it for young kids. BOTTOM LINE? Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

5.0Exceeded my expectations by far2009-07-09PROS Lasting Fun High QualityCONS BEST USES IndoorsComments about ZZZ - S009 AH-64 Apache Remote Control Helicopter:
I'm aware that there are some split opinions regarding this particular unit. Some people have loved it and others have had tough luck. For what it is worth, my experience has been superb. Having never flown an RC copter, and with a very small living room, I think I represent an almost worse case newbie. Indeed, the crashes have been severe and numerous. However, I'm amazed that the blades are built to accept such punishment to the extent that now I'm pretty good at controlled flight without having to replace the blades yet.I'm considering ordering another because it's so fun and I'm realistic that a disabling crash is likely in its future. One comment I'd make involves the trim controls on the remote. At least one person here and several in other places have advanced the theory that the trim controls are adjusted at the factory and caution you not to mess with them. That's[*]First of all, can you imagine the time and effort necessary to adjust the trim on each copter! I have to laugh at the thought that anyone over in China is lovingly taking the time to trim each unit. To put this to rest I've gotten mine hovering and have played with the trim levers. They do, indeed, allow you to trim the unit's flight but their function is not so precise as to make it a disaster if they are set wrong. To the contrary, they are easy to adjust and are relatively forgiving.One thing that is not exaggerated is the worthlessness of the instructions. Forget about getting any useful information there. The controls are pretty simple. The left joystick controls the throttle (how high you fly is up and down) and the rotation of the copter (push right to rotate right and left to rotate left). The right joystick is forward and backward (up and down on the lever) and left and right (left and right on the stick).When I got mine I couldn't get it to power up and the LED light kept flashing inside. It flashes three times and goes steady green when it is locked in to your control. I had to learn to adjust my joysticks to get the thing to recognize my controller. Just keep swinging the sticks until you see the lights turn green and then you're set.I'm enthusiastic about this and I recommend it to you if you're a bit adventurous and a bit of a gambler because I can see how a novice could possibly break this thing on the first flight. However, I've crashed it severely and was able to survive. BOTTOM LINE? Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

4.0Worth the cost, but be careful2009-07-09PROS Apache Longbow Easy To Assemble NICE LOOKING Easy To UseCONS BEST USES Outside HomeComments about ZZZ - S009 AH-64 Apache Remote Control Helicopter:
I bought the helicopter a while ago. It's a very nice looking Apache Longbow. The only real complaint is that the tail propeller was broken when I received the package, but it's a decoration (all the functionality is in the main rotor). It's a 4 channel heli, which means that if you want a simple to fly, take off-and-go -style heli, you should go for cheaper 2-channel versions. This beast is very controllable but for beginners, requires larger area and soft ground (grass or something similar preferable). It's mostly an indoor heli, but you can fly it outside when it is not windy. And I recommend to practise flying it outside, as it breaks relatively easily: many parts are made of plastic instead of carbon or metal.
The instruction manual is relatively good, though a bit terse at times. However, this is my first flyable RC and my second RC vehicle overall, and more experienced users would probably find it more easy to handle and fly. BOTTOM LINE? Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

4.0Amazing for price, but be careful!2009-07-09PROS Looks Speed and Control PriceCONS Nothced ThrottleBEST USES Home OutsideComments about ZZZ - S009 AH-64 Apache Remote Control Helicopter:
This 4 channel RC helicopter is in my opinion the best out there for under $100. Response from the controls is snappy and precise once trimmed correctly. Durabilitiy has yet to be attained, as I would see most people buying this particular model would be relatively new and inexperienced to the world of RC Helicopters
Battery lasts for about 10 minutes and takes 40 mins - 1 hr to charge fully
Tail rotor is cosmetic only, but still cool
Indicator on transmitter for batter power, and led on helicopter for battery life left in li-ion battery(sometimes hard to see) BOTTOM LINE? Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
