This review is from: Vectron Blackhawk (Toy)
They call it a flying saucer, but quite plainly, it's a real, innovative helicopter that you can run indoors.
Imagine being able to fly a remote-control helicopter inside your own home. That's what you get with this remarkable high-tech toy. It is tethered (runs on a wire) so it won't get too for away from you, and so it can have a lot of power without being heavy. Other than that, it is a real, honest-to-goodness aircraft.
The controls take a couple of hours to get used to; it's very touchy. And with 3 propellers, it makes a fair amount of noise, though not enough to drive people crazy if you close the door. The challenge in learning to control it, and the fascination in running a real, hovering helicopter, are the fun here.
I'm not sure anyone will "Learn Things" by playing with this aircraft, but hey, it's fun! I wouldn't recommend it for small kids, as they will find it frustrating and their parents may feel it's a bit dangerous. For older kids and (ahem) somewhat nerdy grownups, a great choice. I bought one for myself, and would have been equally happy to have received one as a truly unusual present.
