Re: RC helicopter from CVS for $24.99 Blue hat toy company

Hey folks!

Though I do have a TREX SE and BCX2, my Dad and I thought it would be pretty fun to buy one of these CVS helis. Just as one of the other posts mentioned, when I tried to adjust the potentiometer the darn thing fell off and good luck putting it back on! SO...of course I returned it and got another one! This time I just tried to use my limited flying abilities to compensate for the spinning and didn't touch the p-meter. Bottom line is that I didn't fair so well and ended up in an un-recoverable crash. They still let me return it (which was very nice) but I didn't purchase another one.

I am new to this hobby but what I have found to be true, as with just about everything else, is that you get what you pay for. I spend $19 on a little AirHog (picco Z type heli) and have had great fun with it flying around the office. That thing is pretty indestrucable unless your dog catches it!

Anyway, my opinion is don't waste your dough on that heli.
