Take to the skies and battle it out in a helicopter dog fight!
Aerial battles at home? No, we're not just talking about the latest console game - the amazing PicoZ Sky Challenger Battle Pack can have two opponents flying mini RC helicopters armed with infra-red beams that can shoot each other out of the sky!
Featuring incredible manoeuvrability and an auto-stability system that ensures they're simple to fly, each mini-copter can pull off some tricky aerobatic moves, which is just as well, because dog-fighting presents a whole new challenge! When one of the helicopters is hit by a beam from its opponent, its motor cuts out, causing it to spin down to earth. But don't worry - Sky Challengers are hugely tough and can take the fall without damage.
Pilots control the action with handheld IR controllers that double up as charging stations. Sky Challenger controllers also now feature realistic gun sounds whenever the trigger that activates the helicopter's gun is fired.
A must-have development of the already hugely popular PicoZ helicopter range, Sky Challengers are a battling helicopter set that brings aerial combat right into your living room!

Not a terrible product but your money would be better spent on just one (better) helicopter. The two main problems with these fighting choppers are:
The helicopter batteries run out very quickly - 6 AA cells are required for each handset, which then charges the 'copter. Each charge takes approximately 30 mins, resulting in only 6-7 mins flight time - a few of which are spent fixing the 'trimming'. (admittedly, the battery issue is mentioned in the play.com review)
Secondly, the 'copters are (as mentioned in another review) far from indestructible - one of choppers' tail fin broke in the first week, rendering the craft useless. Poor form.
Spectacular Flying Fun

I got them for my birthday and couldn't be happier. Flying is great but shooting and flying, yeah baby! They are tricky at first but the fun is in learning to fly. The first time you make a nice take-off followed by a sweet strafing manoeuvre you'll explode its so fun. Definatley get them.
