Customer Review: great for starters




I got it for ten dollars on clearence at target and it is well worth the money. I didn't want to spend to much money incase I didn't like it or wrecked it beyond repair. I love it I can fly around the house with ease. It is too light to handle moderate wind or carry a small flashlight for night flying (and I mean a really small light is to heavy). I would recommend glow in the dark tape or paint for night time flights.




Customer Review: poor quality at a too high price




I was dumbfounded when I just saw the price of this plane that lasted our son less than 1 day. The remote stopped working and the styrofoam wings broke the first day. Amazingly enough, I taped it all over and he still throws it like a paper airplane some. I suppose lessons can still be learned in aerodynamics by everything that broke (see, it needed this for doing blah blah blah...)






I would recommend looking for a plane by Kid Galaxy that we bought for less and works incredibly, charging itself each time you put it on the launcher. You should find it easily enough and you'll recognize it by the description of charging it for ten seconds each time.

Customer Review: Fun for kids and adults




Pros: Durable, after many crashes I still haven't had to replace the rotors. Battery life is good for what it does (rated at 8 minutes, but if you stop many times its more like 10-15). Has fwd/back/spin left/spin right controls. So light, that it's not prone to damage anything it rams into.






Cons: Battery charging time is painfully slow (1-2 hrs). It's light weight causes it to be at the mercy of any slight air movement around it. Wanders quite a bit even in still air. Fwd/back/left/right controls are all on or off,there's no in between.






I've had this for about a month now. After some frustration with being able to control it sometimes, and other times not, it dawned on me why it seemed inconsistent. It only flew stable indoors with the air conditioning OFF. When there was any air movement in the room, it would get pushed all over the place by the ventilation in the room. If the air just catches the tail of the helicopter, the copter is put into a spin. So if you want any sense of control, make sure the air in the room is very still.






I would not recommend this for outdoor use unless you have a huge field to fly in. My son and I took it for some flights outside and the slightest breeze sent it sailing. I was very impressed how high the copter could go though. It can shoot up 40 feet in an instant, then your running after it as the wind takes it away. I actually had it plunge 40-50 ft down into the street, but it survived no problem.






My son is 5 yrs old and he loves it. I was apprehensive about letting him try it at first and was actually planning on not letting him see it. But after using it a while, I realized he couldn't really hurt it easily (unless he steps on it!)






Forward/backward movement is a bit limited. The copter is designed to balance itself. Forward movement only gets it so far before it tilts up a little to counter-act the forward force, causing it to stop.






Even with all these 'cons', you gotta remember this IS a toy, not a fully functional hobbiest helicopter with real controls, and is priced as such. My sons asks to fly it everyday and I still enjoy it very much. I like how I don't have to worry about wrecking anything in the house.








Customer Review: Chopper fun!




I bought this helicopter as a Christmas gift for my son. After flying it myself, I am going to have to get one for me! Don't waste your money on any other brand because you will not be satisfied. This is a great toy no matter if you're 8 or 80.

Measuring only six inches long, the incredibly small Havoc Stingers are super cool flying insects that are very stable and easy to fly in the smallest of spaces. This helicopter makes flying a cinch for kids of all ages, and with multiple channels kids have the option of flying three in the same room!




Customer Review: Don't waste your money




This is a cheap product. After several hours of play the styrofoam body of the helicopter was not adequate to keep the small metal rotor stable enough to have the blades spin properly. My ten year old son had this for less than a day and it will not fly any more. A piece of junk as far as I am concerned. Don't waste your money!




Customer Review: What a tease!!!!!




This was given as a birthday present for my son. After two days of trying to figure out the trim and reading instructions, it is in the box to go back to the store. This thing doesn't even get an inch off the floor and looks like a moth flapping around. What a complete waste of time and money. They claim it is easy to fly, what a croc!!!!! How can an 8 yr old child figure it out when adults cannot? This is NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!!!!

Customer Review: Big Boys Still Like Toys
My son turning 13 didn't want to get only clothes this Christmas 07' so I found this great gaget perfect for big boys fun. Can use this indoors if you have a cathedral cieling. The soft exterior is pretty saft too. Outside play is even better, just watch out for windy days. : Spinmaster Air Hogs
Customer Review: Great little gadget
This is great, I purchased two for each of my two adult children:-)...,my husband and father and they loved it. They take it out side and this litle item goes up very high. They are having a blast with it. I would recommend this for the kid in everyone. I have even had a blast with it. You have to be careful with it, as it is made with styrofoam and it can break if you let it crash to the ground. Great toy! : Spinmaster Air Hogs

Customer Review: Fun if you don't get a defective one
I started out my RC helicopter hobby by buying a Air Hogs "Havoc" model... a cheaper, lighter, more unstable, model with with no forward or backward motion control (but still lots of fun!) So I decided I wanted to upgrade to a model with more control and stability. The Air Hogs "Reflex" seemed to be the answer. : Spinmaster Air Hogs

So here's what happened when I first got it. After wrangling it out of the package (the packaging sucks and you literally need the jaws of life to open it ) I actually read the instructions (for once in my life). I charged the helicopter up (like it said in the instructions) and about 30 minutes later it was fully charged... or so it seemed. But when I powered it up with the controls, the helicopter would not hover more than a few inches off the ground. At this point I thought that perhaps it needed more charging... so I did what any geek would do: I let it run until the battery was completely dead (as to not evoke the dreaded "memory effect") and charged it once again. This time it remained charging for longer... about an hour. The charging cycle is automated by the way, and it's done when the red light in the back of the helicopter stops blinking. : Spinmaster Air Hogs
After the second charging cycle was done I tried to powered it up full throttle again and this time it was able to fly up about 3 feet off the ground... still very disappointing. To me, it seemed like the battery or motor was not able to provide enough power for full flight. Yeah, my helicopter was a defect... a dud. So what to do next? Well, I could return it and call customer support... but the thought of waiting on the phone for half an hour or more wasn't too appealing to me. : Spinmaster Air Hogs

So being the geek that I am... I decided to modify it. I cut the landing props off to make it lighter and "presto", it flew high all the way up to the ceiling. It flew and controlled as well as I initially hoped for... and flew for about 10 to 15 minutes. Now, I'm not recommending that you do this to yours if you get a defective one... but if you're as lazy and sick of customer service as I am... well, I'll just leave it at that. Also, here are some pros and cons about this helicopter: : Spinmaster Air Hogs

Pros:

-Pretty stable in the air compared to other small RC helicopters (like Havoc). More resistant to small drafts of wind.

-Right, Left, Up, Down, and Forward controls work pretty well.

-Helicopter blades fold upon impact to prevent damage.

-4 Spare Helicopter blades included


Cons:

-Prone to defects. Both me and a friend received defective helicopters.

-Long charge time (about an hour) relative to short play time (about 10 minutes)

-Helicopter blades should be more sturdy... they are prone to chips during crashes.

-It was a bit difficult at first to pop the blades back in if they pop off because the instructions are not very detailed. But they only come off during very horrible crashes.

Customer Review: Fragile
We flew our two constantly all day probably ten flights each and this is a long day watching the charger and pulling it of as soon as its ready to fly. The people who have said its durable just haven't flown it long enough. Our two lasted the one long day before the blades folded on a crash and chopped off the little stabalizer arms that look like tiny footballs on a toothpick. At about $60 for one day of fun (one flown by adults only) it is just too fragile. If anything other than a lifting rotor blade breaks then you're dead because the parts are not available. AirHog offer a whole new bladeless Helicopter for $35 plus shipping. So that could get the cost to $40 per day but you'd be better to buy an AirHog Havoc or a Bell mini. At least they're a lot cheaper and more controlable. Also, don't expect to be able to control the Reflex. Anyone who claims control is ignoring many failed attempts and bragging about one lucky attempt. The self stabalizing main rotors override the ting little thrust motors so you truly have no control. It'll wander around with you fighting it with minimal control until it ompletely falls out of the sky when the battery runs down or it hits something. One of ours flew ~OK and the other was totally unstable. We called AirHog and they said this happens and asked for the serial number and receipt and offered an exchange, it lasted one day. My call: Reflex is the wrong choice. Buy an AirHog Havoc or Bell Mini and get more control and they cost less than half what the Reflex does. : Spinmaster Air Hogs
