It uses counter-rotating propellers to rise or descend with stability, while a tail rotor controls the turns and forward movement. Includes spare tail rotors. Includes spare tail rotors.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great little 'Copter, December 11, 2008

By	Robin Leary "rleary1" (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 

o.k. I'm brand new to any Air Hogs product or even R/C helicopters but I really like this R/C toy. I bought one of these for 20 bucks for my 13 year old son's birthday but it turned out that my 10 year old daughter really loves it. The helicopter charges from the remote (which also houses the helicopter which I think is a great idea and prevents loss/separation of heli/control!) Runs about 20 minutes before needing around a 15 minute charge. Our dog thinks this thing is a bug and loves jumping while he watches it. It seems very durable because we have crashed it a lot. The steering has a little bit to be desired. I researched the air hog on youtube and found that if you insert a very light small screw in the nose, the front of the heli points a little downward and makes for better forward movement. Also a very important point: After several runs the heli would start spinning on lift off and we couldn't "trim" it to straighten flight. The cause? Our dogs hair on the carpet wrapping around the small rear propellor. If you have a dog or carpet every now and then you need to examine the back prop for hair or thread, remove the prop, and untwist the hair off the back prop axle. Takes 4 AA batteries and since the remote also has to charge I'd recommend using rechargable batteries as I do. Heli is a very small package and we just keep it on the living room coffee table. Until someone picks it up and flies it! I'm sure there are much better heli's but for the money but this was one of the best gifts I've ever given my children (or Dad!)for fun value. I actually bought another one for my daughter on Christmas!

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick Fun, December 18, 2008

By	Michael R. Ragsdale (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

If you can find it for cheap (~20) it is well worth the entertainment. You should understand what you are getting for that price, though. It is not some amazing high tech expensive looking/feeling toy. This thing feels and looks cheap but it is durable and a great bit of fun.

Pros: Very fun
Rewarding once you master the controls

Cons: Cheap product (but for a cheap price)
Battery charge lasts for 5-10 minutes of flight
Challenging to learn the controls

I would highly recommend this product based on how fun it is and how rewarding it is once you get the controls down.

Note: You will crash this thing, many times. Fortunately it can withstand quite a beating. When learning the controls, be patient. Try to get the elevation down first before messing with the left/right.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as controllable as Havoc Heli., January 6, 2009

By	amazon customer (CA) - See all my reviews

Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

I bought the micro because I had the Havoc Heli and liked it. The micro is not as controllable as the bigger version, but still fun to fly when it works. Unfortunately, the particular one I got didn't function that well, it spins wildly and the trim controls only worked intermittently. On the bright side, Amazon's return process is hassle-free, they even paid for return shipping. You won't get that kind of service with a typical ebay seller.
