Product Description
Product Description
Voted top men’s toy on The Gadget Show, Silverlit’s Sky Challenger twin micro helicopter set is probably one of the best big boys toys ever made. Offering a fully three dimensional interactive game, with each pilot trying to outsmart his opponent in the air, by using flying skills and an integral laser beam to temporarily disable the other helicopter, without being hit first! The attractive Sky Challenger gift box includes two fully assembled helicopters supplied ready-to-fly, complete with pre-installed 2-channel proportional wide beam infrared control systems, and an informative flight manual. Suitable for both beginners and enthusiasts, steer the helicopters by simply moving the transmitter joy stick left or right, whilst operating the throttle to take off, hover and land. Two set top buttons launch the lasers upon command, accompanied by audilble sound effects for added excitement. Stable and fun to fly indoors in a reasonable size room, the Sky Challenger helicopters are remarkably robust made of lightweight flexible foam, and feature a flashing blue LED strobe light. Each Sky Challenger chopper incorporates a powerful lithium polymer battery and will fly for up to ten minutes, whilst recharging direct from its transmitter in less than half an hour. The Silverlit Sky Challenger infrared helicopters are supplied on bands A and B, to allow both models to be flown together. Requires 12 x AA alkaline batteries (not included).
Manufacturer's Description
Aerial battles in your living room? No, we’re not just talking about the latest console game â€" the amazing PicoZ Sky Challenger Battle Pack can have two opponents flying mini RC helicopters armed with infra-red beams that can shoot each other out of the sky!
Featuring incredible manoeuvrability and an auto-stability system that ensures they’re simple to fly, each mini-copter can pull off some tricky aerobatic moves, which is just as well, because dog-fighting presents a whole new challenge! When one of the helicopters is hit by a beam from its opponent, its motor cuts out, causing it to spin down to earth. But don’t worry â€" Sky Challengers are hugely tough and can take the fall without damage.
Pilots control the action with handheld IR controllers that double up as charging stations. Sky Challenger controllers also now feature realistic gun sounds whenever the trigger that activates the helicopter’s gun is fired.

I was a little sceptical about how much fun this would be and whether these coptors really fly. No worries. They are amazing and even my wife's raised eyebrows quickly turned to a smile. My 2 girls think they are 'cool' Even the 8 year old could fly one within a few minutes.
The flying time is as short it suggests but still enough time to enjoy it. It says don't use rechargeable batteries but I seem to remember another website saying that you can safely ignore these warnings.
It will be interesting to see how durable these coptors are - you get spare rear blades. I haven't had long enough to know.
If you aren't convinced whether this is worth the money check out the video that is on manufacturer's website.
Could be the toy of the year

These two helicopters are brilliant i stood on one the day after i recieved them, and to be honest i found it increadably easy to fix. after straightening the roter axl and putting the thing back together i could barely tell the difference. mine are still going now even 3 and a half months later, tho i cant help but wander if i should move on to an X gyrator or a 3 channel... i would however rate the single one of these as they are a little easyer to control, and do not waight them until you have got to grips with them!

These 2 helicopters have been brilliant, durable and easy to use, we bought them for our teenage sons for Christmas and we've all had a go at shooting each other down. Good fun. You do need a bit of air space and not too many fragile ornaments in the room to play.

Efficient replacement
One of the helicopters in the pair just didn't work. However, the Amazon replacement process was both painless and very efficient.

Excellent toy - bought it for my son and he has also now been lucky enough to have learned the concept of sharing! It's really good fun!

takes a bit of time to get used to the controls, and set the 'copters up so they don't spin round all the time but worth it!
