Fire Hazard
Purchased two of these from a discount retailer after having lots of fun with a slightly more expensive model purchased at the mall around Christmas. I will be searching the mall for another more expensive one.

Why? This helicopter is VERY difficult to maneuver. It is ALWAYS moving forward. It does not hover and stand still in one spot. That means that you always have to be watching and turning. Additionally, the trim is nearly impossible to get right so that it isn't rotating wildly.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, the unit is a fire hazard. The instructions say to charge it for 25 minutes, and oh boy you better set a kitchen timer. Left it on the charger for over an hour by accident, and how I have a scorched mess of melted green plastic. I contacted the mfr directly to report the safety concern, and they sounded neither surprised nor concerned. They did, however, make sure that I knew it was my fault for letting it be on the charger too long. Do they really think...
