Customer Rating:      Summary: No staying power Comment: A great idea, and it was huge fun for about 2 weeks. BUT then the tail rotor needed replacing and in the removal and refitiing procedure suddenly it didn't rotate at all. So one helicopter down... The next one lasted about a month longer. I don't think that's value for money. Toys like scaletrix and lego still work after 20 years!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Very Cool! Comment: These two helicopters are brilliant i stood on one the day after i recieved them, and to be honest i found it increadably easy to fix. after straightening the roter axl and putting the thing back together i could barely tell the difference. mine are still going now even 3 and a half months later, tho i cant help but wander if i should move on to an X gyrator or a 3 channel... i would however rate the single one of these as they are a little easyer to control, and do not waight them until you have got to grips with them!
Customer Rating:      Summary: future helicopter pilots - start here Comment: This is so much fun. I was unsure how durable the copters would be, but my fears were ungrounded, since they survived Christmas and New Year with only superficial damage. The laser zapping element adds to the delight, and is definitely worth the extra money. For indoor use only, because even on the calmest days they soars away, outside.
I would definitely recommend this for young and old alike.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Another Christmas toy washout Comment: I bought the Silverlit Picoo Z Sky Challenger with the laser action so my 13 year old son and I could play together on Christmas day, unfortunately the tail rota on one of the helicopters is intermittent and therefore crashes after reaching about 3 feet in the air. The other helicopter works fine and guess what, that was my sons! We have been unable to battle as planned. Let's hope Amazon will replace the offending toy.
Customer Rating:      Summary: this is a winner Comment: I was a little sceptical about how much fun this would be and whether these coptors really fly. No worries. They are amazing and even my wife's raised eyebrows quickly turned to a smile. My 2 girls think they are 'cool' Even the 8 year old could fly one within a few minutes.
The flying time is as short it suggests but still enough time to enjoy it. It says don't use rechargeable batteries but I seem to remember another website saying that you can safely ignore these warnings.
It will be interesting to see how durable these coptors are - you get spare rear blades. I haven't had long enough to know.
If you aren't convinced whether this is worth the money check out the video that is on manufacturer's website.
Could be the toy of the year
