Havoc Heli is FunNov 12, 2008
I bought the Havoc Heli for my 9 year old nephew. He loves it. The fact that it can be flown indoor is especially nice. The only problem we have with it is that the trim does not seem to work well and it will not fly forward very well. It lifts off very easily and can hover, but no matter what we try, it will not fly forward. He still likes it in spite of that. For the price, it is a good toy for a child his age.
 Move the charging cord to the backNov 06, 2008
I'm really enjoying this little helicopter. It is the first I've owned. It took a little while to learn how to fly it, but now that I've got it down I'm having a lot of fun with it.
The helicopter weighs 10.3 grams. A quarter, dime and penny weighs about the same.
Charge time: 18 minutes
Flight time: 8 minutes.
I'm tempted to get two more, so I'll always have one charged up. It's actually good that it has down time. You won't ever get caught up in playing it and not notice how late it is until the sun starts to come up.
Two items in the description are totally wrong: "four-way control for flying in any direction with accuracy -- up, down, under, over, left, right, forward and backward" No - the 4 ways are up, down, right and left. You can't control forward and back during flight. "hook attachment on the bottom" There isn't a hook or any place to put one.
It is strong enough to drop the 9 feet from my ceiling to the floor without any problems. I've slammed it into the wall many times and it was fine. I haven't flown it in the kitchen, because I KNOW it would immediately decide to see what is behind the fridge. I loves to check out what is behind all the big heavy furniture. Might as well buy a swiffer at the same time. This copter finds all the hidden spots you've neglected to dust.
From what I've read, you shouldn't run the battery all the way down. That will ruin it. Charge it up before you put it away. This kind of battery doesn't like to get too hot, or too cold either. Try to keep it at room temperature even when storing it.
The lid on the cord compartment holds the cord straight up, right behind the joysticks. That's the worst place they could have put it. I only put it back in the storage compartment when I'm done playing with it. I cut a notch on the back of the lid with a file. That way I can close the lid with the cord coming out of the back of the controller, and it doesn't get in the way during flights. Also, the copter stands on it's feet during charging instead of laying on it's side. (I uploaded a photo illustrating the problem and solution).
I put a paperclip on the rotor boom to prevent forward motion while I was learning to fly it. I use a bit of clay on the nose instead of the foil stickers in the package. The clay is easy to adjust.
I found it is much easier to just launch from my hand. I hold the bottom fins between two fingers, give it enough power to support itself then let go. When launching it from the ground it immediately turns and flies off in an unpredictable direction. If I get it up to speed while holding it, I can release it and it will stay about where I let it go.
It can usually right itself when it's laying on the floor. I'm sure this is bad for the rotors, but it's kind of a fun challenge to get it stood back up and take off from where it fell without touching it.
Even the slightest breeze will affect it.
It uses 6 AA batteries in the controller. The helicopter recharges from the controller so there aren't any separate batteries required for the helicopter. Get a set of rechargeable batteries, especially if you are giving this to a kid.
You need to use a screwdriver to open the battery compartment - pretty inconvenient. I think that's a poor design choice.[..].
This is really a great deal and a heck of a lot of entertainment for the price.
 Not great, but ok.Nov 04, 2008
My son was thrilled with this toy initially, but the tail broke after only a few minutes of flying. The upside is that it could be easily fixed with tape. All in all it's not the greatest toy and it is somewhat difficult to fly, but it is ok. Because it's difficult to fly, my son lost interest after a few days.
BANG for the buck!!!Oct 31, 2008
I bought this toy as a back up to the micro mosquito, so that my daughter would have something to play with and not the more expensive/fragile micro mosquito. Well after I broke one of the very fragile rotors of my mosquito, I began to play with this toy that I thought would be rather crappy.
Well to my surprise this toy is awesome to play with! It takes a licken' and keeps on kicken'! The controls for this are rather responsive once you have attained a proper trim (which needs to be adjusted almost every flight.)
I found that instead of using the aluminum tape to help the nose pitch (your forward speed) I stick a pin on the nose and can add and subtract the weight as I desire (unlike the one time use aluminum tape.)
The only maintenance that this toy requires (aside form charging) is to clean out the rotor axles that love to pick up every stray strand of hair and cob web in your house.
Fun for a few minutes!Oct 31, 2008
I bought this for my son for Christmas last year and he did indeed love it, but it quickly broke with regular, expected ware. NOTICE: they sell a ton of little replacement parts which means that this little toy tends to fall apart and need them! Would not recommend if you are on a strict budget, because you will be disappointed!
