Utilizing an integrated electric gyroscope system, the S111G is easy to control and allows for extra stability during flight. The adjustable trim control and multi-directional flight controls allow the helicopter to move up and down and rotate both clockwise and counter-clockwise, as well as move forward and backward. The coaxial blades provide extra stability and durability during flight. The 150mAh battery means 12 minutes of flight time on a 30-minute charge, giving it a few extra minutes in the air over the similarly-priced competition. Add in a lightweight design that’s less likely to damage or break in a crash and this indoor-only option becomes even more attractive to first-time operators. Range - The sky is your playground, as long as you’re within range, that is. Flight range on standard remote control helicopters hovers around 50 feet, though higher-end (read: pricier) designs can get you even farther range. Battery - It’s all fun and games until your battery dies and your helicopter comes crashing to the ground. Most remote control helicopters on the market will deliver between five and ten minutes of air time, depending on how you fly them. It’s also wise to check how long it takes to charge up the battery because some take as few as 30 minutes, while others will make you wait up to 90. Pro tip: Carry a backup battery when possible.
