Client Reviews

Outstanding little RC helicopter to fly indoors (does not perform well outside).
LED lights are really cool to watch.
You need to have a small coordination to use the remote when flying.
Trying to manage the UP/DOWN Left/Appropriate Forward/Reverse etc. at the same time is not as effortless as I believed. Following various practice flights, it becomes much easier and a lot of Enjoyable
If yours quit working, and the bottom blades quit spinning....
Do not THROW AWAY... its nevertheless really good.
The exact same issue occurred to me, crashing into walls and objects, I thought all was lost, and the helicopter was "completed".
You just require to acquire the tiny gear that came off, mine was stuck below the nose piece.
The influence and torque from the crashes triggered the little gear for the bottom set of blades "B", to slip off the shaft of the little motor, or mis-aligned from touching the Massive sprocket gear. Take the helicopter apart, locate the gear, and slip the small gear back into location.
See Youtube video, this was really valuable (search - "how to fix 339 helicopter").
Make certain you keep all the tiny screws in the appropriate order and make certain almost everything is put back together the exact same way you took it apart.
Good Luck and pleased flying!

I've only flown this 1 a couple of occasions, but it appears extremely really good. And I say this just after getting tried 7 other models. I like Viefly models given that they are really durable, and do not tend to break very easily...being that, they are lighter plastic units, but also given that they appear to be built properly. And they are simple to manage. But they (like almost all plastic heli's) tend to shoot-up and hit the ceiling when initial launched following a 'full charge' mainly because they are so light weight. So, I decided to try this metal Viefly, and so far so decent. It does tend to hit the ceiling 'sometimes' upon take-off (just soon after a complete charge), so I have to be just a little pre-emptive in de-throttling the controller just soon after a full power take-off. But if I am just a little cautious, I can keep away from that...which I can not consistently steer clear of on most plastic models. And this unit's flight characteristics are nice, with excellent straight forward motion, and only a minimum will need to adjust the trim from time to time. But I'll report back later as I test it extra, and let you know about durability and flight duration time. The ideal part is that it is not More than-RESPONSIVE (such as when offered a slight command to turn it's nose 'a bit left'... it doesn't go 'way also far' left, etc. like on other models...some even start turning in a complete counterclockwise circle when offered just a smaller command to turn its nose 'left'). By the way, the webpage doesn't mention this, but it does come with a USB connector cord. As I mentioned, I will report back more as I fly it additional, but so far its one particular of the most stable, durable units I've flown. I've had an additional a single which was even a lot more stable than this a single, but that 1 was so poorly constructed, the gear that turns the lower rotor fell off the motor shaft with just a single bump into my cushioend couch arm. So, I'd take durability more than slightly better flight characteristics anyday. At least, the unit will 'last' far more than one particular day.
