Fun little indoor toy.
I thought it would work better outside, any small breeze takes it away. better for indoor use but gets alittle boring. Keep some duct tape & super glue around for small repairs.

Not good
Bought this for my 32 y/o son in law.Battery on lasted for a few minutes and thenit crashed. I have sent it back though and vendordid except it. That's a plus but was not cheapand it was a great failure.

Practically dead upon arrival
Did not work. Charged fully and helicopter did everything but fly. It did not have enough battery power so I drained battery which took a couple of minutes then recharged for an hour, I came up about four inches off the ground and started to die again. I am returning and reordering. Stay tuned for the next review.

Fun to fly
Got the LT-712 in about a week from date of order. Fun to fly. It is about 14.1" long, 2.3"wide, 5.9"tall, light metal construction and plastic canopy & blades. It takes about 90 minutes of charge time for about 10 minutes of fly time. It has a 640x480 video camera mounted underneath with an insert for a 1gb micro SD card included. The SD card fits into a USB adapter (included) that plugs into a computer to view the video which records in AVI format. No extra main rotor blades but does have an extra tail rotor blade. Crashed it many times but on carpet so no damage. Have nicked the main rotor blades on furniture legs, so best to fly in an open area. When learning to fly, I recommend training gear to keep the blades from hitting the ground when it tips over. The training gear are 4 sticks in the form of an X, with ping pong balls on the ends and attached to the skids with wire ties, extending past the length of the blades. I got my training gear at a local hobby shop. The heli is not powerful enough to fly too high with the training gear on, so I'd only use it for the first few flights while learning to fly. It takes time & practice but hovers fairly well indoors. The heli likes to pull the left or the right even while hovering, so you will regularly be adjusting the trim on the transmitter or using small counter-weights. It can be flown outdoors but has a hard time if there is even a slight breeze. The telescopic antenna on the transmitter breaks easily, so need to be gentle when extending it. Transmitter has basic controls, left/right/fwd/back/fast/slow but has no output for simulators as on more expensive transmitters. The heli has a fixed pitch main rotor blade that uses the rear horizontal tail rotor to tip the nose up or down, making it go forward or backward. Other more expensive heli's use a collective pitch blade using the main blade itself to make it go fwd or back. Some collective pitch helis have more fly time as they use the pitch of the main blade to go up & down rather than the speed of the rotor which uses more of the battery. Overall I'm happy with this heli. Enjoy!

New toy
My first r/c heli. Got it to hover and get it's "feel" right out of the box. On it's 3rd charge, I have it flying around my house, without any damaging crashes. I look forward to writing back once I have more experience. Possible 4 or 5 star review next time. The remote is very sensitive, and the aircraft responds quickly. I hope practice makes perfect.

Great Helicopter
Easy to run, love the camera taking pics and scaring some crows. In the future I might try a bigger one.

Don't waste your money !
Don't waste you money on this "toy". It appears well built, except for the cheap controller, but getting it to fly in any direction but backward was impossible.Unfortunately the "directions" were useless unless you speak Chinese pidgin translated into unrecognizable English. It's sad when a manufacturer couldn't spend a few more dollars to have the instructions translated in to proper and understandable English.
