Radio Control Helicopter Bladez 3D

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Remote-Control Toys
from: Syma


I'm certainly no expert but I have flown a few electric helicopters so I have some idea of their capability. The Bladez is very basic, as a radio controlled model; but compared to many of the helicopter toys around now this little model flies well. With relatively little effort the total beginner should be able to keep the Bladez in the air, given a reasonable space (beginners should avoid living rooms and the like until they can manage a reasonable hover). I'd say this little effort might cover say a weekend, taking in 10-15 'flights'.
Aside from ease-of-flying it's important to consider durability too. And the Bladez does very well on that front, with a good solid airframe which struck me as a surprisingly good build quality. Another ... Read More:

Xtreme-Copter Infrared Control Toy Helicopter - Band A

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Remote-Control Toys
from: XTREMECOPTER


OK, so I'm 37. But this has to be the best toy I have been given in the last ten years!! In recent years, my two young sons have had great toys given to them - Scalextric, Hornby, RC Cars and many others that they have as theirs - and many are great, but they are not mine - and none are as good as this!

My eldest (7) was given a similar 'Copter for Christmas, and has even beaten me to landing back on to on the "launch pad" (a biscuit tin - the tiny helicopter does not particularly like being launched from our carpet) that we have in the living room. However his 'Copter is to be returned as it is faulty, and I think I will get another of these on a different channel so we can fly at the same time.

Honestly - if you like ... Read More:

Micro Mosquito Remote Control Helicopter

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Remote-Control Toys
from: Thinkgizmos.com


....better than the generic Mosquito helos which have two 4-blade rotors with a ring round them - much like a pair of windmills.
This newer version has two conventional 2-blade rotors with a balance bar on the top rotor. It works better for us, and seems to be a bit tougher.
It is still a 3-axis machine with yaw (=rudder) control, motor power (=collective) and pitch (=forward/reverse) rather than the simple 2-axis of the basic Picoo that most of us have seen - in ads if not in the flesh.

We have had half-a-dozen of the older Mosquito variety in our family - mostly the 'Alany' model, and we love them, but this is a significant improvement with slightly better performance, and significantly improved control in the air. ... Read More:

Apache helicopter. Radio control AH-64

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Remote-Control Toys
from: iOSSS


Well this Helicopter is alright but its better of if you get the 4 channel version. this is okay to fly indoors but you might lose control. it flys well outside with little wind and no obstacles in the way and a big open space. dont expect it to stay in one place it will drift alot but its a much cheaper version and it just cant move forward and back as easy but can turn left and right and go up and down.
Also this is not a toy for little children the blades have a fast speed that it broke my anttena so be carful with it.

BRIO 33218 Wooden Railway System: Remote Control Express Train

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Remote-Control Toys
from: Brio


I have had three of these trains. The first time the kids played with it a bit over five months and then it stopped. Replaced all batteries. Took ages to get remember to get another. That died within two weeks - replaced all batteries to no avail (and I know there are two on the front of the train). Was given a replacement from the shop and that has gone in under a week and the kids have played with it twice. This time I'm sending it back to Brio (who are very helpful). A friend has one and that has lasted 6 months on the same batteries. Unlucky? Jinxed? When it works it's great but keep the receipt!
