I recently watched someone flying one of these and it looks like fun. I'd like to get one but I know absolutely nothing about them. So I'll be interested in advice from anyone who is familiar with these interesting toys.

I'd thought they were something very new because I've never seen or heard of them before. And I'm surprised they aren't more common if they've been around for years.I have one of those little ones that were popular a few years ago. It's somewhat easy to maneuver, but keep a lid on your fish aquarium.
So I'm not the only one who is turned onto what was intended as a child's toy. These little flying helicopters are very seductive. I've already spent a few hours researching them on the Internet and I will be buying one soon.I recently watched someone flying one of these and it looks like fun.

I bought my grandson one for Christmas and mailed it to him. It is a Casbro. Remote control with the lights so you can fly it at night too. Then I bought one for myself as it looked like alot of fun and my son thought it was very neat so I gave it to him for Christmas. They take a little while to learn to use but they are definitely fun.

Wow! Five hundred bucks. That must be a relatively sophisticated model so I'm surprised it wasn't more controllable -- unless this fellow is just reckless.I recently watched someone flying one of these and it looks like fun.

It depends if they are I.R. controlled or use a radio frequency. The indoor ones are around $20 and will be broken in a month because it takes that long to learn how to fly indoors and they pick up hair and the blades need replacement so you need to find a place that sells replacement blades for the replacement helicopter. The number of channels you have is a factor.
The problem with helicopters being outside is thrust to fly against the wind.

My wife bought me one for Christmas about five years ago. Our pastor got one then, too.I'd thought they were something very new because I've never seen or heard of them before.

Thanks!I recently watched someone flying one of these and it looks like fun. I'd like to get one but I know absolutely nothing about them. So I'll be interested in advice from anyone who is familiar with these interesting toys.
The other thing you can do is get a USB helicopter simulator for use with a computer:
E-Sky 4 CH Flight Simulator Training Kit For Airplanes and Helicopters w/ USB Port
It is only $20 and it won't get damaged as much as a real helicopter when you make mistakes.
There was a story in the news last year about a kid who killed himself with his toy helicopter:

At some point you have to determine when it is no longer a toy but a helicopter.

Brookstone was selling them.
