Air Hogs Havoc Laser Battle set reviewed

A surprising result from this highly anticipated test:

"I love the Havoc helis, and I think the very idea of a battle set is truly awesome, but the quirks that showed up when two were flown together really let me down. Given the other feedback from regular buyers I've read on the Internet, I think the Havoc Laser Battle sets are a hit-and-miss affair, where you may be taking a gamble when you buy one. Maybe it'll work out, maybe it won't. As much as I hate to say it, I'm going to have to recommend that the buyer beware. "

Grade: C-

Havoc Heli Laser Battle set has arrived!

My laser battle set is in hand, and the helis are charging! I will try to get together with a friend and get some combat on video for you all soon!

New Havoc Apache video

Got a video second one up:

Air Hogs Apache Havoc

If there was one thing I didn't like about the original Havoc, it was the look of the fuselage. Taken from the original Silverlit Picco Z, I thought it was uninspired and, well, frankly, a really weak aesthetic design. Well, it looks like Spin Master agreed! Check out the new AH-64 Apache edition!

I'm a huge fan of this one; it looks so much more realistic and less like a really cheap toy. It still flies just as well, too. Be sure to read my full Air Hogs Apache Havoc review for the full scoop. Here's an Apache Havoc video for your enjoyment.

Air Hogs Havoc Micro RC Heli Reviewed

The Air Hogs Havoc review is up at RC Mania! Here's the summary:

"As you can see in the video, it really works! The Havoc is one of the smallest things you can fly, and it's a lot of fun once you get the hang of it. It just takes a fair amount of skill to fly it smoothly. It's also not exactly the hottest-looking toy you can get. For $30, though, it's worthwhile for indoor fun for fans of sky travel who don't quite have the space for a Reflex or don't want to spend much money to get in the air. "

Check out the Havoc video, also on YouTube here.

Air Hogs Reflex micro RC heli

Check out the Air Hogs Reflex review on RC Mania. The Reflex, originally called the Helix, is a three-channel micro RC helicopter that uses a three-channel radio system and lightweight, high-powered lithium polymer (LiPo) battery. It was a pioneer in micro helis because it was the first one of its size that was so controllable in flight, yet available to the masses at very reasonable price.

Here's the summary of the review:

"The Reflex is the real deal, a micro-sized helicopter that's stable enough to be flown around a room. It needs some adjustment right out of the box, but once you get it right, it's fun to fly. I wish it was possible to really hover in one
place in the air, but it's so light that any breeze at all (even its own) moves it around, so I'll settle for really slow, controllable flight. The Reflex is a keeper for me. "
