Lift Speed- 8.5/10 - Quick lift speed
Forward Speed- 7.5/10 - Good speed but slow acceleration to max speed

Cost- 8.5/10 - $30-$50
Overall- 8/10
Overall this helicopter is quite excellent, as it flies well and due to its all metal body can SURVIVE ANY CRASH, as long as you're not stupid and you fly indoors.
Unfortunately I have had a bad experience with Cobra and the manufacturing of this helicopter. I flew it a ton the day i got it, and it flew fine. The next day, it couldn't fly, but instead would spin helplessly on the floor, regardless of minor adjustments. It became apparent that it had been poorly constructed, as the top rotor could move separately than its axle.
I really like this helicopter, and hope that mine will be fixed or replaced soon.
UPDATE
Thanks to customer support, a vital screw was located, and i received a free screwdriver to fit it. The screw was located on the upper propeller apparatus, and clamped the apparatus to the drive shaft. After it was tightened, the helicopter flew as well as it had out of the box.

Neither video features this helicopter, although a previous model and a similar one.
