 Hard to control November 25, 2008
Lindsay (Plymouth, MI)
Much harder to control than the smaller and lighter Havoc. When you let go of the throttle the Reflex drops like a rock to the ground due to the weight. I returned the heli and stuck with the Havoc which is much more fun.
 Had possibilities but got a bum heli September 2, 2008
Stan (NY,USA)
It was fun to fly but never quite worked right even after trim, it was durable and didn't break even after a couple of nasty crashes, i liked the wall charger too, ended up returning it.
 Mostly Brilliant May 3, 2008
Peter Hagelund (Princeton, NJ)
This thing is mostly brilliant. Like other reviewers I cannot stress enough that you *have* to get the trimming right before getting adventurous. Read the supplied instructions carefully and follow the trimming directions. When trimmed correctly this thing will literally hang a foot from your face and barely move. If you buy it for a child, do the trimming yourself before handing it over - and don't expect really young kids to get much out of it. To fly it the way it's done in the commercials, you need to be on the controls constantly; if you expect to just give it full throttle and have it hang like a helium balloon on a string you'll be disappointed. It's a real flying machine and it takes careful and constant control in all directions. Being very light, it reacts to very little air movement like forced air/AC vents, open windows and its own rotor wash when close to a wall. br / br /Pros: br / br /- Very fun and addictive. br /- Easy to fly once you get the hang of it. They recommend a double garage or a basement - I fly it in my 20x20 living room with no problems. br /- Good flight time (about 10 minutes on a full charge). br /- Durable (even a 6+ foot drop on carpet will not damage it and if (well, when) you hit a wall or a piece of furniture the rotors simply fold in). br /- Wall-plug charger (doesn't require a base with batteries like other brands). br / br /Cons: br / br /- Long charge time (at least one to one and a half hours; other brands will recharge in about 30 minutes). br /- Small radio controller (obviously made for kids, but still...). br / br /The user of these micro helicopters has to be patient... they're easy to fly (certainly easier than a full-size RC plane or helicopter) but still require some ramp-up time. Flying it every two hours or so (allowing the battery to cool down and then recharge) over a couple of days or (long) evenings should get most to a point where they can take off and land on e.g. a coffee table or even their own hand. br / br /Bottom line: Fun, addictive and well built but requires trimming and is not a toy for young children.
 Son in Law LOVED the Air Hog! April 13, 2008
Coleen K. Deyarmond (Lansing, MI)
Our son in law absolutely loves his Air Hog helicopter. Even our daughter got in on the act and can actually control it's flight better than her husband can! haha Good entertainment!
Fun for All!!! January 8, 2008
R. Cox (Mississippi, USA)
I have purchased several RC type products over the years for my kids, but this one tops them all!! br /Easy to use, very durable, it's fun for the whole family. It works indoors and outdoors in light wind. br /You will not be disappointed with this product!! br /
