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.

5.0 out of 5 stars this is a winner, 7 Dec 2007
By bartman (battle e sussex) - See all my reviews
Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Silverlit Sky Challenger 2-Channel Remote Control Twin Helicopter Set (One Pair of Products on Alternative Frequencies) (Toy)

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

This review is from: Silverlit Sky Challenger 2-Channel Remote Control Twin Helicopter Set (One Pair of Products on Alternative Frequencies) (Toy)
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!

Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Silverlit Sky Challenger 2-Channel Remote Control Twin Helicopter Set (One Pair of Products on Alternative Frequencies) (Toy)
I purchased these for my nephew for xmas and obvioulsy I had to give them a trial run.

My intention was to give them a quick go and then wrap them up.

Im now logging on to buy more as myself and my partners daughter (aged 7) can't put them down.

Yes they are fragile and yes you will be buying replacement tail rotors but what do you really expect for £13 each? Anyhow these things fly!!!

My only complaint is that they only last 5 mins before the charge wears out but on the plus side they only take 10-15 mins to charge. Also the shooting aspect is not all that as the infra-red beem bounces off the walls and you can hit each other from anywhere. I guess a bigger space than my living room is needed.

Dont think about buying them just do it!!!
