In all fairness, I believe there is a video on this site that proves these helicopters can be flown. It is not easy but is do-able. These are also being sold at Rite-Aid Drugstores in California. I have 2 of them and neither has broken yet. You have to keep them at low altitude and cut the throttle instantly when it appears you can't control it until you get more familiar with them. As always, still air seems the best for practice. I didn't find Blue Hat Toy Company in Irvine at all helpful when I had a problem...they were just plain arrogant and disinterested. They don't seem to be "manufacturers", just importers.
