Air Hogs Havoc Heli Navy

Comment: This toy is far more durable than it seems. It's fun for days and i can't imagine getting bored with it!

Comment: So I bought a cheap little RC helicopter at some clearance extravaganza that was happening in our town about 3 weeks ago. Brought the $20 lil copter home, and I broke the stabilizer bar within minutes of taking it out of the box and firing it up. I was SO excited to fly and try and now I was REALLY hankering to fly something, I was NOT going to give up! So I figured let's see what Amazon has in comparison - I found the Air Hogs and this model. I figure for $30 it must be a tad better. It arrived in about 2 days. Well my 5YO daughter and I had just a blast with the thing. As you can imagine we put it through its paces. It hit the ceiling, every piece of furniture in our house, we landed it hard, ran it into the walls, etc. etc. And remarkably it held up very well. Now these little things basically can go up/down, left/right circles. You REALLY can't control them going fwd/bkwd. They give you some small pieces of aluminum tape to put on the nose of these little micros so they lean forward and they get a little go. It will take some practice and you will get hooked. I now own 8 Air Hogs of the various models. Each of them fly differently - that is half the fun -and my daughter and I built an airport out of legos and we just have a great time, and she is REALLY trying hard to learn how to fly them, and these are the PERFECT little "toys" to do just that. I also have now purchased some additional REAL RC Helis, and I am trying to learn how to fly 4 channel and then move into 6 channel - it does get hard.

If you have a house full of stuff - stick with the micros and minis of Helis. Theses little things might fly outside on a non-windy day, but they are perfect for indoors.

Comment: The Havoc Helis are easy to learn and a blast once you get the hang of them. I already had two micro RC helicopters from Brookstone and these are much easier to learn to control. They are amazingly durable. I even flew the helicopter into the cat's water bowl once and it was fine. There are not perfect though. Even with adjusting the trim, they tend to favor turning one direction over another. Overall, they are well worth the price for the amount of enjoyment they offer.

Comment: So after fully charging the battery on the helicopter it only gives you a few minutes of playtime. I could live with that. One of the props broke the third time we used it (this is still on the first day we got the thing). Unfortunately, on day two the battery on the helicopter stopped recharging. It now holds about 2 seconds worth of charge. I cannot recommend this toy to anyone. The one I got for my son lasted only one day.

Comment: This is, AWESOME!!! :) It is so much easier to fly then my other one. hahahahahahaha :P
