If you enjoy the fun of radio-controlled vehicles, but don’t always want to leave the comfort of your couch to go outside and play, check out these Air Hogs Havoc Helicopters. Measuring a mere six inches long and weighing only a half pound, these small but mighty choppers are made for indoor dueling -- so you don’t have to quit flying just because of bad weather or a dark sky. A crash-resistant foam fuselage means you can perfect your piloting skills using the dual-toggle, single-throttle wireless controller. The twin drive props in back and dual rotors on top provide exceptional stability and precise six-way directional control -- up, down, left, right, forward, and back. Sled-style landing gear means set-downs should be gentle, too.
Not just for meant flying solo, the Havoc copters are designed for fun with others. In what is almost like a live video game, each helicopter uses its infrared beam weapons to engage in a mid-air battle against the other. The first pilot to hit his opponent three times with the beam (complete with battle sounds) will be victorious as the enemy heads into a wild tailspin. Six AA batteries are required, but not included, for the remote controls. The helicopters are powered by rechargeable lithium batteries, and the charger comes with the set.

I was hesitant to buy this based on previous bad luck with Air Hogs products. However, I risked it and bought it for my son's eleventh birthday. My two boys LOVE these things, and I have been surprised that they have actually lasted a few days, proving to be more durable than their lightweight and skimpy appearance would suggest.
Understand that you only get about 5 minutes of flying time before a 15-20 minute recharge is needed. Also, while they are more controllable than the players in the old vibrating football game, don't count on being able to perform precision maneuvers or even to be able to always get it to go in the general direction that you like. That being said, everything else about these copters is fun. The helicopters spin out of control for a second or two after getting shot, but a good pilot flying high should be able to recover. The IR range seems to be decent as my boys have been able to shoot each other down from across the room.

I purchased this set with the dreams of flying around the room battling with friends. I was some what disappointed on this level. Is it a fun toy? absolutely. Would I have loved to had one when I was a kid? Absolutely. The commercials do not portray them the way they really are though. Your going to need a big room in order to achieve hovering. Then if you are able to get a shot off at the other helicopter in the five minutes your lucky. The right joy stick only has left and right movement so you are really limited on the amount of control you have to fly around the room. If your a kid, then this will be an awesome toy. Who hasn't dreamed of flying a tiny remote control toy in the house. If your an older kid at heart, then this toy isn't for you. You'll do as I did, play with it, get frustrated at how hard they are to maneuver and return them so you can have your 70 bucks back.

I'm a HUGE fan of the Air Hogs line - most of their planes and helicopters are really fun. These little units are similar in size and shape to the other Air Hogs helicopter - the Havoc, but it's not the same. The body shape is slightly different, and it uses a more dense type of foam, and the rear rotor seems to have been improved a bit.
The fighting is pretty good, but sometimes it's difficult to actually aim the buggers - that could be my own lack of skill talking, but it's something to consider. It's also quite okay from the remote's perspective to just hold down the trigger and fire IR everywhere, and since it bounces off walls somewhat, in a small room this could make the game less enjoyable/challenging.
Keep in mind that you really don't need two people to play unlike other games - if two people are around, great, if not, the havocs are a ton of fun to fly by themselves.
Like the original havoc, these guys need a little weight (the included panels or some tape with a small weight do the trick) to fly forward, otherwise they hover and float on air currents.
