Product Description

Fly the Spinmaster Air Hogs R/C Havoc Heli Laser Battle Helicopters together and have real live aerial battles. You receive 2 laser targeting Havoc Helis, 2 infrared remote control transmitters and extra tail propellers. No assembly required. Very easy to fly. Ages 8+. Four way control. Fly indoors in any room. Each transmitter/remote controller has 2 fire buttons and a speaker that emits authentic battle sounds. Average flight time aprox 6-8 minutes. Includes lithium polymer flight battery in the helicopter. Each transmitter requires 6 AA batteries (sold separately). You'll need 12 AA batteries in total. The transmitter doubles as the charger for the helicopter by connecting the supplied wire from the transmitter to the helicopter. Average charge time 15-20 min. If the helicopter flight time decreases you most likely need to change the transmitter batteries because they are no longer able to fully charge the internal helicopter battery. If the helicopter spins, press and release the trim control on the transmitter multiple times to trim the helicopter in the opposite direction of the spin. Do not fly outdoors. How the laser battle works: 1. Fly both havoc helis at once. 2. Fly into position and press the fire button on the remote controller. The heli will shoot an infrared beam at the other heli. 3. If a direct hit is detected the opponent will go into a tailspin. 4. Once one of the helis receives 3 direct hits it will lose power. The other Havoc Heli wins.

Amazon.com Product Description
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.

The tiny flier fits easily in the palm of your hand.

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.

Customer Reviews

FUN! An excellent gift idea.
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.

Really fun, good build quality
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.

These things rock!
I got these today and they are so much fun! I had one of the origin havoc heli and have been waiting until these were released. They fly as good if not better then the original havoc's.

The controllers have buttons that allow you to shoot at the other heli and make a machine guns sound. When a heli gets "hit" then it beings to spin out on control and falls from the air.

This is really a great set for anyone that likes these types of toys.
