Ever fancied yourself as a pilot but couldn't be bothered booking flying lessons?
Well now the Sky Challenger Remote Control Helicopter set 85725 allows you to control not one but two aircraft!
Ideally though this exciting set is to be used by two people battling to outwit each other in the sky.
Pilots use their flying skills and inbuilt laser beams to temporarily disable the other Sky Challenger. If that wasn't tempting enough the flying game is accompanied by an audible sound effect for added excitement!
When you hit your opponent's helicopter with a laser beam it should send it spinning to the ground.
Built by Wonderland Models their sales pitch includes the following statement - "Only 17cms long and weighing just 11 grams, these two tiny Silverlit Sky Challenger Choppers are remarkably robust, and incorporate an auto stability system to make them easy to operate both indoors and outside in calm conditions."
However it reality these items are far less robust than advertised.
While they certainly 'do what they say on the tin' they can only really be played with in 'non windy' conditions. Therefore using them outside in a British winter may not be the wisest idea.
Retailing at between £40 and £50 this set would be a unique gift at Christmas but may be better suited to adults rather than children.
