Misconceptions

Okay. First off. My family and I have been flying remote control planes and helicopters since I could first hold a control box.

Second... this product REALLY is a good product... no matter what the morons out there say. Flying an RC helo... no matter HOW small or big is a VERY VERY VERY difficult task to do! It's not NEARLY as easy as it looks on the TV. It's a commercial people! Since when has the TV EVER told us the truth?!

There is a MAJOR learning curve when flying an RC helicopter... and even a veteran can have trouble with a new helicopter (you have to adjust to every helicopter you fly!).

I get so frustrated by people crying over how the "helicopter is uncontrollable" or how it "will only go up and down and no matter what I do, I can't control it's left and right movement".

It can take YEARS to master the art of flying one of these things. It's not something you can do right away usually. Specifically... these helicopters don't necessarily fly "forward" either. Technically the body usually cants toward one side and then flies forward in that direction.

Anyway... this toy is exactly that. A toy. It's not a professional RC helicopter that you can mount a camera onto and take pictures of landscape with. It's a toy. If it doesn't function EXACTLY as you like it (yes... there may be a delayed response because it is run off of infrared technology and not radio frequencies)... so what?! It's not that expensive. In fact... it's rather cheap for an RC helo. People... please come to your senses.

This is a GREAT helicopter for someone just looking to take a step into the hobby. It's cheap, pretty darned durable, and it flies alright too. I'd recommend this to ANY parent looking to give their kid an intro to RC helos and wants to start them out small (it teaches them how to handle the precise controls that a full-size helo uses... and those are even more touchy than this thing...). It's a great product at a great price.

Helicopters aren't supposed to be easy to fly

Don't understand why so many reviews slag this product for having the flight dynamics of a helicopter. It *is* a helicopter. Choppers are much harder to fly than fixed-wing aircraft. Every control input affects all other aspects of flight - lift, torque, airspeed, everything. Small helicopters are even harder because things happen much faster. With some practice this thing is definitely controllable. I'm still figuring it out, but it's a blast to fly around the house. People should take it for what it's worth, stop expecting it to fly like a video game, and have fun with it.

addictive!

Its funny, when you think of purchasing this for a child and find out that the child's father plays with it more than the kid!! Its a fun toy, better to be used outdoors than indoors as inside it could tip over stuff from the shelf or the souvenier showcase.

The toy itself is not exactly the epitome of quality manufacturing, the design is good and the controls on the remote are pretty relevant and effective. But the problem lies in durability, as it does not last for a long time, but then again you get what you pay for. In this case, its not all that bad though, with some proper TPM, this toy can be made to last a good duration of time and is a lot of fun for the whole family while also an excellent gift item to boot.

Could use better materials

Spinmaster Air Hogs Havoc Heli (Colors May Vary)

We bought this remote heli as a gift. Our first impression was that the product is not made of plastic nor resing or metal as most toys are today. Rather is is styrofoam, which makes it a bit flimsy and poor. We enjoyed making it fly although rechargable AA batteries are highly recommended as these units are charged from the controller and will not last more than a few hours of play. Do not use outside.
