Customer Review: Totally Rad... My Favroite Toy Helicopter on the Market

The Air hogs Robo Recon flying helicopter is the best toy that I have experienced from Air hogs. The Robo Recon has a great concept. A small flyable toy that can hover, turn left, right, ascend and decline altitude with a touch oh a button. The tiny foam composite of the Heli is relatively durable yet cannot take a lot of impact. At first the Robo-Copter is very difficult to handle. I recommend that you start flying in a soft open room with relatively no furniture and no other people. By the 3rd day of flying, I noticed that the feet from my heli was coming apart. I took some glue and stent 20-40 minuites holding the glue in place. The remote is very easy to use. The throtle is very smooth and there is no need to keep your finger on it. Unlike the havoc heli, the robo recon is very easy to fly. I am able to turn with pinpoint accuracy as well as hover for a very long time. On the tail of the recon there is a counter weight that can be slid towards the main body or back towards the tail to go slowly. WARNING: WHEN YOU BEGIN THERE IS A TENDENCY TO RUN INTO WALLS AND DROP FROM THE AIR. THIS CAN CAUSE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE SO BEGINNERS BE WARE. This is my favorite toy from air hogs and I recommend it to all lovers of the air hogs brand.Air hogs Robo Recon : Spinmaster Air Hogs
Customer Review: OK, not great
In summary, either get a Spinmaster Air Hogs Havoc Heli (Colors May Vary), Spinmaster Air Hogs Battling Havoc R/C Helicopters, or Reflex Helicopter: 27.195 MHz - Yellow. Treat the product links as starting points for shopping around. There are likely better prices. The battling version of the havoc comes with two helis that fly about the same as the normal havoc, so get the best deal. : Spinmaster Air Hogs

OK, robo recon. It's heavier than a havoc, so is a bit more controllable. However, the reflex is more controllable than the robo recon.

I have to hand launch because the landing legs were weak, flexible, uneven, and stuck to the rug. Luckily, they quickly broke off. Flight characteristics were not noticeably changed with the legs gone. : Spinmaster Air Hogs

My plan for the robo recon is to chop up the styrofoam body and maybe stick landing skids on it. Or use it for parts. : Spinmaster Air Hogs

Regardless, shop around a bit. If the robo recon costs less than the havoc, then it is an OK choice. Especially if you aren't shy with the hobby knife. : Spinmaster Air Hogs

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

Customer Review: AirHog Launcher lost 1 propeller after 15 minutes of use | 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

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.
