Summary: Fun, but patience required - this is not a toy for young children
Comment: This is an excellent little flying machine. It requires patience and concentration, but long flights are possible. (up to 5 minutes at a go). The controls take a little getting used to, but once mastered its like a bug that you just can't get rid of, you keep going back to it for that extra bit of flight control, or hover longer over the coffee table. It is great fun, but younger people may find it a bit too difficult to master and get bored with it quickly. I love it, and I am just off to fly round the living room again.

Summary: Great fun !
Comment: This is my first radio control aircraft.I bought it on the recommendations on this page, and must say that it is GREAT fun indeed! Hard to get the hang of at first, but perseverance pays off, and its fun all the way. Would definately be easier in a large room with few obstacles to avoid, but I am having a great time learning. No damage to the craft as yet, despite many tumbles. My wife complains about the draught it creates, and the cats go crazy, but hey,I'm having fun - (65 years old), wish they had been around a whole lot sooner. The only complaint I have is that the recharge plug is a real fiddle to get locked in, but apart from that, great fun at a very reasonable price. The control unit is very well made and really good quality. Have fun - get one!

Summary: Fun until it breaks
Comment: This is an awesome but not particularly durable helicopter. I bought mine today and it was very hard to get the hang of... it kept hitting walls. When I thought I'd cracked it after about an hour of flying, it veered into a curtain, smacked into the ground and one of the rotors partly snapped. There being no suitable spare parts, it is now totally out of control whenever I try to fly it. Having bought several Silverlit helicopters, all of which have broken in the first three days, I would not really recomend getting this unless you have a large flying area, are very experienced, have spare parts or enough money to buy another.

Summary: A man's toy
Comment: Fun once you know how to use it, but is very hard to get the hang of. Would probably be too hard for young children - and too dangerous! Good for grown men who like their toys!

Summary: A Pleasure to Demonstrate After Some Practice to Gain Skill
Comment: I can recommend this model without reservation. It is worth taking the trouble to learn to trim the controls for ease of handling in the air. It helps if you have some experience of flying model helicopters such as the simpler 2 channel Picoo or even a simulator on a PC. Once control sensitivity and orientation is mastered, this model is quite easy to fly.
Landings are tricky with the narrow wheelbase and will invariably tip over sideways, except on smooth shiny surfaces.
I've only had this toy for a couple of hours at the point of writing this mini review but I felt sufficiently enthused to report quickly my findings.

Reach new heights of remote control flying with the Silverlit Tandem Z helicopter. Chopper flying like you've never seen before, the Tandem Z is based on the Sea Knight tandem rotor helicopter. With two rotors, just like the real thing, the Tandem Z can f
