The new sleekly designed 3 channel 9053 Gyro Volitation with built in gyroscope control allows for increase stability and accuracy on your flights. It is a great helicopter to fly, as it easily manuevers to fly up, down, left, right, forward, and reverse. The styling is true to life very similar to the real helicopter and is made with a metal frame for durability. The dual color orange and black design makes this helicopter stand out from a sea of boring monochromatic designs.
Imagine taking your sleek new toy out for a spin on a beautiful clear sky, with about 15 minutes of flight time you can hit the throttle and take this baby up to 100 yd high. Swooping back and forth in the air powered by its two powerful 180 main motors and an N20 tail motor, this small helicopter can hold its own with the big boys on any playing field. Specially designed altitude and rotor speed control allows for dynamic flight control, and built-in brake allows for easy landing. Stop the presses! The reviews are in! The 9053 represents the new standard of excellence in RC control helicopters.

DONT LET THIS SCARE YOU AWAY..Before you buy go to Youtube and make sure that you can handle the mods to this bird.. Flipping the bottom rotor over and adding a new balance bar are a must, or you will spend alot of money on new blades every time the balance bar cracks into them. Also If you are going to fly outdoors in any kind of wind or breeze you need to upgrade the tail rotor and add some weight to the front. All in all this is a great place to start with R/C choppers.. I have a couple trex, but I was looking for something that my kids could fly with me. It took my 8yr old daughter about 10 mins to learn to fly this thing outdoors. It's cheap, It's made pretty well and It will take several hard crashes before you break it.You cant beat this bird for [$]. It's cheap enough you can learn and not worry if it gets destroyed. Just beware.. you will get hooked on R/C choppers, and it will cost you a fortune when you get into 6channel heli's. WAS THIS A GIFT? No BOTTOM LINE? Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

5.0Great Helicopter!2011-05-29PROS Well Constructed High Speed Fun To Play With Easy to ControlCONS BEST USES Outdoors Adults TeensComments about ZZZ - 9053 Gyro Volitation Remote Control Helicopter:
This was my first RC Helicopter and I was ver surprised at how easy it was to get it out of the box and get flying right away! This is probably the cheapest way to get into RC Helicopters. My only issue was getting the trim set correctly. It's not recommended to fly this helicopter in even the slightest wind. After playing with my first one for about two months I bought a second 9053 Gyro Volitation Helicopter!! WAS THIS A GIFT? No BOTTOM LINE? Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

2.0Watch out for breezes2011-04-20PROS High Speed Well Constructed DurableCONS BEST USES Adults Indoors Older ChildrenComments about ZZZ - 9053 Gyro Volitation Remote Control Helicopter:
The 9053 doesn't handle slight breezes very will and that's a common issue with a coaxial design (twin sets of rotor blades).
The other problem is, that a 24 inches in length, you may not have as much room indoors. And, that's my problem.
Another problem is that the balance bar can get caught in the blades. That happened to me while the 9053 was about 50 feet in the air and it came crashing down.
On the plus side, the 9053 is pretty sturdy. That fall didn't destroy the 9053 but did bend the balance bar.
If I had to do it over again, I'd skip the 9053 and give the smaller 9100 a try. I was really torn between the two but, hearing that single blades are more difficult to fly, I went with the 9053. WAS THIS A GIFT? No BOTTOM LINE? No, I would not recommend this to a friend

5.0Great heli for the price2010-11-23PROS WorthwhileCONS BEST USES OutsideComments about ZZZ - 9053 Gyro Volitation Remote Control Helicopter:
I would advise against using this heli indoors too much. It's on the lower end of hobby-grade helis, and is best used outdoors in non-windy conditions. It's pretty stable, easy to control, looks pretty good. Very good for the price. It's best for beginners, but I really enjoyed flying it, and I've been flying for years now. WAS THIS A GIFT?
