Advantages: Sorry, None, Even the price is too much, compared to more serious models. Disadvantages: Uncontrollable, Bad transmitter/receiver set, Too expensive, no replacement parts when damaged.

The fact that it has only 3 channels for control makes it impossible to control.
You need at least 4 channels to succesfully hover a helicopter:
1 Throttle ( up/down )
2 Rotate tail
3 Forward / Backward ( elevators )
4 Roll left / right ( ailerons )
For a few dollars more it is possible to buy a beginners helicopter...
