The Syma S026 is good straight out of the box. Mine came with a mains charger so youu dont have to drain the controller batteries charging the Heli. The Co-Axial Rotors make the heli very stable and bringing the heli to a stable hover is possible on the very first flight. The claim that its Indestructable is pretty accurate. I have access to a large indoor workshop and have crashed this helicopter numerous times from 20ft up and it still flies and nothing has broken off. The major downside is its ultra light weight. Landing can be difficult because the updraft makes the heli unstable when close to the ground or near obsticles.
