The second in my roundup from ThinkGeek, the ‘Havoc Heli’ mini helicopter is really easy to use – it only has two controls – throttle and rotor speed, and left/right spin.
The ThinkGeek website has this to say:
- Amazingly small Infrared Remote control helicopter
- Flashing Blue LED for Night Flying
- Intended for indoor use. Outdoor flying only under ZERO wind conditions.
- Full Flight control with up/down and turn right/left
- Body is constructed from durable EPP foam
- Internal helicopter battery charges from remote control unit
- 15 minute charge time, 5 – 7 minute flight time
- Extra tail rotor included
- Uses 6 AA Batteries (Not Included)
You can launch it straight from your hand, just stand it in your palm and increase the throttle. It handles indoor environments very well, it will manage a bump from a wall, and it won’t crash horribly if it hits the ceiling, or the furniture (most of the time).
Check out this quick video of the Havoc Heli in action I shot:
