Customer Review: This Toy "Bugs" Me
I'm very disappointed in the Spinmaster Air Hogs Havoc Stingers (Blue). I bought it for my nephew since it's something he had on his wish list. It is made of plastic and for what it cost, I had expected it to be a traditionally-sized remote-control toy. Size-wise, the Spinmaster is small enough to fit in the hand of a toddler. : Spinmaster Air Hogs

An adult needs to set up this toy as well as charge the batteries before use. The child can then have lots of fun using it until the battery runs out which is fairly quickly. : Spinmaster Air Hogs

I do not recommend this toy. It's too small and too expensive! : Spinmaster Air Hogs

After only about 15 minutes of flight time with my 2 grandson's who liked the launcher, I was the one retrieving the Air Hog when it landed and I noticed it was missing a propeller and we were unable to continue flying the launcher. I need to find out where I can order replacement propellers.Spinmaster Air Hogs

Spinmaster Air Hogs - Air Hogs Reflex Helix - Colors May Vary


Air Hogs Reflex Helix - Colors May Vary The amazing new REFLEX helicopter is the most advanced, most controllable, fully-functional helicopter in it's class. The REFLEX comes with twin rotors and dual thrust propellers. Amazing precision indoors and out!
Customer Review: Had possibilities but got a bum heli
It was fun to fly but never quite worked right even after trim, it was durable and didn't break even after a couple of nasty crashes, i liked the wall charger too, ended up returning it.
Customer Review: Mostly Brilliant
This thing is mostly brilliant. Like other reviewers I cannot stress enough that you *have* to get the trimming right before getting adventurous. Read the supplied instructions carefully and follow the trimming directions. When trimmed correctly this thing will literally hang a foot from your face and barely move. If you buy it for a child, do the trimming yourself before handing it over - and don't expect really young kids to get much out of it. To fly it the way it's done in the commercials, you need to be on the controls constantly; if you expect to just give it full throttle and have it hang like a helium balloon on a string you'll be disappointed. It's a real flying machine and it takes careful and constant control in all directions. Being very light, it reacts to very little air movement like forced air/AC vents, open windows and its own rotor wash when close to a wall.

Pros:

- Very fun and addictive.
- Easy to fly once you get the hang of it. They recommend a double garage or a basement - I fly it in my 20x20 living room with no problems.
- Good flight time (about 10 minutes on a full charge).
- Durable (even a 6+ foot drop on carpet will not damage it and if (well, when) you hit a wall or a piece of furniture the rotors simply fold in).
- Wall-plug charger (doesn't require a base with batteries like other brands).

Cons:

- Long charge time (at least one to one and a half hours; other brands will recharge in about 30 minutes).
- Small radio controller (obviously made for kids, but still...).

The user of these micro helicopters has to be patient... they're easy to fly (certainly easier than a full-size RC plane or helicopter) but still require some ramp-up time. Flying it every two hours or so (allowing the battery to cool down and then recharge) over a couple of days or (long) evenings should get most to a point where they can take off and land on e.g. a coffee table or even their own hand.

Bottom line: Fun, addictive and well built but requires trimming and is not a toy for young children.

Requires 6 "AA" batteries, not included.
Customer Review: Pretty tough
We read a couple of reviews suggesting that this helicopter toy breaks easily. Actually, we found it quite tough. We crashed it a number of times, but nothing was ever damaged. It just "takes a lickin', but keeps on ticking."

After about six or eight crash flights, I got the hang of it and succeeded in a number of very good, lengthy flights.

I am age 68. My twentysomething son liked it a lot, and flew it with considerable skill.

Give it a try.
