HoverLite is WORST HELICOPTER we have ever tested!

Buyer Beware,
especially if your already a helicopter pilot!

"Figuratively speaking" it "flies"!

That is to say, it goes UP and DOWN but is NOT steerable! It just spins most of the time.

Of course to a new guy that means it is flying! It's up there right? Ha ha.

The pilot spends all his flight time jockeying the power, (it has dead spots) to just keep it from hitting the ground!

You can't make it go anywhere, except up or down.

The tail rotor controls are BACKWARDS, and if you don't know that, the more you try to stop it from spinning, the more it spins....unless you think right is left and left is right for real!

And in any breeze, it will go up and be blown away.

You cannot fly it anywhere because there is no cyclic pitch, so it goes with the (wind) flow!

If you buy it, you may call what your doing flying but to true heli enthusiasts, this is unsatisfactory.

You (as countless others have found) will be disappointed in the handling and quality.

One hard landing will break the tail boom and rotor, due to blade strikes and poor throttle control!

It has no cyclic, no bearings anywhere, no proportionate speed control and it has the tail rotor REVERSED from any other helicopter on the market.

What were they thinking?

I tried every conceivable thing to make this heli more controllable and was going to pass on the "FIX" to you viewers, however as you saw, there is NO FIX!

This helicopter will help no one learn to fly helis, because if they learn to fly it, they will have to un-learn all to fly something more precise with PROPER controls.

Don't waste your money on this, unless you have lots of money to burn, and wear your hat on backwards. (You need the bill to fly RC in the sun)

Some of you may have fun with this as is, but you must be naive to the fact that there are very precise flying helicopters on the market.

These sophisticated (and way more expensive) Helicopters even have so much control, they hold Indoor Championships at the Academy Of Model Aeronautics for them!
(It takes a lot more skill and risk to fly in your garage then out in the pasture)
If you want to defend your machine and tell us it flies, so be it. Somebody ALWAYS will!

In our case we feel the manufacturer could have at least hooked the controls up right in the first place.
That was poor prior planning on their part.
