Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Throughout the many years, I have had many remote control helicopters and have never been satisfied with any of them. So it came up time again for another helicopter and I came across the Roku F11. I ordered it and after ordering it I was initially hesitant as I was not certain it was really going to be the helicopter that it is. I read so many different stories good and bad about so many different helicopters I figured the deal I got was a good deal and I decided to jump in headfirst and purchased it. My initial response was kind of dismay. I ordered the F11 pro. My initial response was well I just don’t get this. It folds up nice and small. It came with two batteries a little screwdriver and a couple sets of helicopter blades and the helicopter and the remote control. Initially I charge the batteries and was very happy the next day when I woke up and they both were green good to go. I had tried playing with the helicopter at home. But I was not ready to turn it on and take it out for a flight until I was certain I was in a place where I knew I would not ruin it on my first flight I had emailed the company back-and-forth a couple times about questions about the helicopter. The company was very forthcoming and responsive to my stupid questions. Of course the company never referred to my questions as being stupid. So here I am at a campground in north eastern Pennsylvania. They have a part of the campground where hot air balloons take off daily. So we thought that would be a great place to try out the helicopter. So our first day was a little bit of a learning curve. I have had other helicopters but none of them ever were successful and we’re not GPS or any quality whatsoever. I watch the video on how you should use your new drone for the first time. It listed the five things you should do before you’re confident enough to take your drone out. So we followed his steps and it was definitely worth practicing our landings hovering and basic Fleitmann ship skills. One of our first big things we were the happiest with was bringing up the helicopter to 75 feet and turning on the camera and spinning around in a circle. We had some great photographs that we took over the next couple days. We had one near miss as I accidentally turned off the GPS and the helicopter went flying into the woods. It’s survived and work just as well afterwards. We practice the next couple days taking off and landing taking photographs and adjusting the camera and moving around the camera mount and the angle. At this point we are very comfortable with the hovering going up and the items that really are needed in basic flight. At this point we had learned to bring a couple chairs with us and sit in the field with an obstructed view. On our second day my wife decided she could fly it as well. I was so happy that she got to try it and enjoyed flying it. It kind of made it even more fun for me watching her fly at as opposed to me concentrating on just flying. Another couple days went by and we learned more and more skills. We purchased one of the instant helicopter pads and it worked wonderful. My wife was able to take off at a pretty high speed and come down and land pretty close to the helicopter pad. After our first day of flight we brought on the batteries and plug them in to charge. But unfortunately we did not bring our charging cables with us. So we went home and got our tables and were able to charge the batteries for the next day. We really had a lot more fun on the next day and each day forward. So I truly think it is a great helicopter and has a lot of high-end benefits. I was originally surprised by the compressed Styrofoam carrying case. But I have learned to like that as well. It holds all of the items perfectly. They came with the two batteries and now we have two cables we will keep in the case along with a charger. On my complaint list it would have to be the directions were printed on a microscopic font. But I am older than your average teenager who can read better. So we took photographs of the directions and I was able to see them with my iPad Pro. It was also easier to see him when they are inverted in color. We’ve attached some of the photographs. The videos came out in great quality and the photographs came out and great quality. Taking photographs and sharing them was quite easy. The consul display was easy to follow and once we figure that out we were doing pretty good. We need to complete lesson number three to become more proficient at flying takeoff and landing. All in all we give it thumbs up. Very easy to learn. I can’t wait to explore some more of the Pennsylvania woods. It’ll take some time before I reach the comfort level where I feel comfortable flying around in my neighborhood. So thumbs up. Great value and great price great quality.
