Air Hogs: 2-Channel Heli

Though I am impressed with technology and the ability to produce such a tiny 2-channel EPP-durable helicopter for $29, I easily bore of anything that is 2-channel, whether car, plane, or helicopter.

A 2-channel helicopter can go up/down and spin counter/clockwise, but not fly forward. The Air Hogs Havoc has plenty of power and climbs nicely indoors or outdoors.

My recommendation, if you want an inexpensive indoor/micro helipoter is the Air Hogs Helix 6-channel helicopter for $79 at Target or Toys-R-Us. If you want an electric outdoor helicopter, visit www.hobby-lobby.com.

taping half a paperclip half off the nose gives it some good forward airspeed, and some tail rotor input will get them to circle about nicely.

It's not amazing amounts of airspeed, but better than nothing.
