Customer Reviews

Great little RC helicopter to fly indoors (does not perform well outside).
LED lights are highly cool to watch.
You have to have a little coordination to use the remote when flying.
Attempting to control the UP/DOWN Left/Correct Forward/Reverse etc. at the identical time isn't as effortless as I believed. After a lot of practice flights, it becomes much easier and a lot of Fun
If yours quit working, and the bottom blades quit spinning....
Do not THROW AWAY... its nonetheless excellent.
The very same thing occurred to me, crashing into walls and objects, I believed all was lost, and the helicopter was "finished".
You just need to locate the little gear that came off, mine was stuck under the nose piece.
The impact and torque from the crashes triggered the little gear for the bottom set of blades "B", to slip off the shaft of the small motor, or mis-aligned from touching the Massive sprocket gear. Take the helicopter apart, find the gear, and slip the small gear back into location.
See Youtube video, this was truly beneficial (search - "how to fix 339 helicopter").
Make positive you preserve all the tiny screws in the correct order and make certain everything is put back together the same way you took it apart.
Very good Luck and pleased flying!

I've only flown this a single a couple of times, but it seems pretty superior. And I say this right after having tried 7 other models. I like Viefly models simply because they are really durable, and do not tend to break quickly...being that, they are lighter plastic units, but also since they seem to be built nicely. And they are very easy to control. But they (like practically all plastic heli's) tend to shoot-up and hit the ceiling when 1st launched soon after a 'full charge' for the reason that they are so light weight. So, I decided to attempt this metal Viefly, and so far so great. It does tend to hit the ceiling 'sometimes' upon take-off (just immediately after a full charge), so I have to be just a tiny pre-emptive in de-throttling the controller just just after a complete power take-off. But if I am just a little careful, I can stay away from that...which I can not usually steer clear of on most plastic models. And this unit's flight characteristics are nice, with excellent straight forward motion, and only a minimal require 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 perfect component is that it is not Over-RESPONSIVE (such as when given a slight command to turn it really is nose 'a bit left'... it doesn't go 'way also far' left, and so on. like on other models...some even get started turning in a full 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'll report back much more as I fly it even more, but so far its 1 of the most stable, durable units I've flown. I've had another a single which was even even more stable than this one particular, but that 1 was so poorly constructed, the gear that turns the lower rotor fell off the motor shaft with just one bump into my cushioend couch arm. So, I'd take durability more than slightly better flight characteristics anyday. At least, the unit will 'last' additional than one day.
