Summary: great fun but not fragile!
Comment: My 11 year old son had this for christmas and the concept is brilliant. Fairly easy to fly but while one flies well, the other doesn't - seems to be a common problem in other reviews. As the point of this set is to have 2 copters flying and attacking each other, one non functioning one reduces the value of the product somewhat. On the plus side, the functioning one charges up quicker and flies longer than expected (using 2000 mAmp hrs rechargable batteries). If we can get it replaced with 2 functioning copters, i would give it full marks.

Summary: Great Fun!
Comment: I got these for Christmas after finding them on the site. I thought that they would be a little bit of fun, but not brilliant. I was wrong.
These helicopters are a very good laugh. You can fly them well enough to use after the first couple of minutes; leaning to fly them really well however takes two or three recharges.
They are also very durable, I have flown mine into various walls, ceilings, floors and small children, and they still work, save for a bit of plastic taken out of one of the main propellers. They do take about two or three times as long to charge each time as you get flying time, if you follow the "wait ten or fifteen minutes after use before charging" rule in the booklet.
The only disappointing thing about them was the fact that each controller (that the helicopters charge of) require 6 AA (LR6) batteries. I should have realised, but a bit disappointing on Christmas day as we didn't have enough.
Overall, Thumbs up!

Summary: Hours of fun
Comment: I bought these for my hubby. He and his brother were occupied for the rest of Christmas day flying them around the room and trying to shoot each other down. If you buy them as a gift for someone, note what I didn't, which is that they need 12 AA batteries which are not included (thankfully my father-in-law had some and saved the day). The helicopters are quite stable and easy to fly, but it takes practice to master not flying them straight into the wall.

Summary: amazing
Comment: I had a ordinary picco z at the start and it didnt fly very well but then i got this for christmas and is great fun! Its easy to use and great to fly around the house however i would say they need to make another one with more charging space but over all this is a great toy and can be used for two people which is great! ****

Summary: Great Fun for any age!
Comment: I bought these helicopters at the beginning of september and didn't open the package untill Christmas day as it was a present from my Grandma! Christmas day came and I was very eager to get them flying. I had already bought 12 AA rechargeable batteries but didn't realise that they needed charging right after purchase, so this meant that I needed to wait almost 24 hours for all the batteries to charge!
It's now the day after boxing day and finally all the battries are charged, I charged the helicopters and challenged my brother to a battle! The problem was, we were enjoying it so much that we forgot to shoot each other out of the sky!
Controlling
Getting the helicopter off the ground and adjusting the high is easy enough, but when it comes to turning left and right that is when it gets a little tricky. I discoverd that when you turn to the right, the helicopter will move forward and kind of to a large circle. When you turn left the helicopter will just turn on the spot and neither goes forwards or backwards.
Durable
It's very durable, they have each suffered lots of crashes in the short time I've had them and the only thing that needs adjusting every so often is the trimming, which prevents the helicopter to turn left or right when you don't want them to!
Educational
I've knocked a star off this because there isn't much you can learn from flying these helicopters. But if you really wanted to learn about how things work, then I think this is a good place to start.
Overall I think this is a great toy to have any time of the year. I did get a few funny looks from my girlfriend and my parents when I told them I wanted a pair of remote controled helicopters, but they seem to be enjoying them as much as I am!
