We bought this after much research for my son's birthday. We received quick shipping, came packaged well and very impressive upon removal. Ready to fly right away and if the propellers were more durable, this would be an awesome heli. The body of the heli is very durable, just as showed on the video. We didn't step on it or anything naturally, but we did fly it. It can handle a crash in the body but some of the lights stopped working immediately and the real disappointment came with the propeller design. There are little black clips that hold the propellers and weight in proper alignment so they can spin without hitting eachother...without them, the heli cannot fly. These popped off after 3 or 4 flights. The heli didn't even land on cement...it was on soft grass and these flew off immediately. Without them, the toy is useless. They seem to pop off easily. We have two other heli's that have the same type of set-up and the same style little things and they never come off, even if my youngest gets ahold them them and crashes them. My guess is it is just a design flaw. If they included extra in the package or made them available perhaps. Still, my son only was able to fly it for about an hour and then...that's it. I would also mention that the remote control is not great quality either. The antenae tip broke off when he pulled it open. Dealing with World Tech however was a breeze! Fantastic company, reimbursed us shipping and price of toy (only right as we had it less than 24 hrs)but still, they were quick, excellent communicators and I couldn't have had a better experience for returning this item. I'm sad it didn't work out. BTW, as far as those clips coming off, it wasn't only for my son that they did this, I flew it too and they came off on me...this time we couldn't find them. So, bottom line, definately for older children or teens/adults (I didn't let my younger one anywhere near it!), durable body for certain, best I've seen, you could be taking a change with it, like us, but this company is on to something. Because of the propeller, if you are not a professional heli flyer, it might be best to pass. For us, it was a lot of money for a huge disappointment. My $25 heli is easier to control, doesn't break and is more reliable. Hope this helps.
