Good and bad Review by Mark

I got this for my son on his birthday. Pro's are that it flys smoothly and tons of control. He even landed the thing on the railing! Con's are that it took a while to charge and didn't fly for long. Eventually, 3 weeks after opening the box, the helicopter flew very low to the ground and sunk on a full battery. (Posted on 1/2/13)

easy Review by chuck

This is the easiest helicopter I've ever flown. Right out of the box to hover, climb, forward, and back. Took it outside and I was amazed at how high it would go before loosing lock. Too bad the flight time is so short compared to recharge time but a cool toy anyway. (Posted on 9/16/12)

Great! Review by 2002

I owned 2 of the smaller ones they sell in-store. While the smaller ones are a little more nimble, this one is more stable and less affected by things such as A/C or heat vents, which would send the smaller, lighter one for a ride, and sometimes a crash. (Posted on 8/20/12)

Flew great, right out of the box, rarety ! Review by Rev.J.R.

I have 7 RC Electric Helis. This is my 1st. Estes.and I got it for my 80th. birthday Apr. 28/2012. I could do everything I wanted with it right from the start. Only minor trim needed ! I hovered it over my daughters head and she loved the enjoyment it gave me. She got it at The Source as they are knowledgable and helpful. Our local Source guys all fly Helis so they give good advice for novice/beginners . (Posted on 5/1/12)

Terrrrrrrrrific! Review by Tommy V.

I never write product reviews but the R73-OPS Helicopter deserves recognition. Folks, if you want an easy and affortable way to fly RC, this baby is IT! When I first saw it in the store, I thought the R73 was just some piece of junk that wouldn't be worth my time but I bought it just for the heck of it. I was wrong. Totally, completely, 100% wrong! Not only is this little helicopter VERY fun and easy to fly, it is extremely durable. I have managed to crash in just about every conceivable manner possible, with zero damage done to the craft. I plan on buying a couple more so I can fly while the others are recharging. Get it!!!!! You won't be sorry!!!!! Oh, and one other thing: night flying is particulary fun as the LED landing lights are VERY bright and illuminate any place you want to fly. I can't say enough good things about this helicopter.

Buy this one if you are a first time flyer Review by Patrick

This is my first rc heli and am impresed with how easy it is to fly. I bought this one after flying another companys heli. that one was a ceiling magnet. not this one, I have not even hit the ceiling once. would love a longer battery life but more power means more weight so I will deal with what I have.

Really smooth Review by Russell

This is a great helicopter! Bought it last night and can't put it down. Very easy to fly, has a real "presence" about it. A great buy! (Posted on 3/11/12)

love it. Great mini heli Review by gebe

Recieved and flew this helicopter today and was amazed at the ease of the flight. Upon further examination of the model was impressed with the fact that not only are the blades and tail rotor replaceable, but the lipo battery is easily replaceable, a hatch on the bottom houses the battery. I will be flying this model for a long time to come. NICE JOB! (Posted on 2/8/12)
