Manufacturer's Description
Aerial battles in your living room? No, we’re not just talking about the latest console game â€" 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 â€" 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.

Customer Reviews

this is a winner

I was a little sceptical about how much fun this would be and whether these coptors really fly. No worries. They are amazing and even my wife's raised eyebrows quickly turned to a smile. My 2 girls think they are 'cool' Even the 8 year old could fly one within a few minutes.

The flying time is as short it suggests but still enough time to enjoy it. It says don't use rechargeable batteries but I seem to remember another website saying that you can safely ignore these warnings.

It will be interesting to see how durable these coptors are - you get spare rear blades. I haven't had long enough to know.

If you aren't convinced whether this is worth the money check out the video that is on manufacturer's website.

Could be the toy of the year

Very Cool!
These two helicopters are brilliant i stood on one the day after i recieved them, and to be honest i found it increadably easy to fix. after straightening the roter axl and putting the thing back together i could barely tell the difference. mine are still going now even 3 and a half months later, tho i cant help but wander if i should move on to an X gyrator or a 3 channel... i would however rate the single one of these as they are a little easyer to control, and do not waight them until you have got to grips with them!

No staying power
A great idea, and it was huge fun for about 2 weeks. BUT then the tail rotor needed replacing and in the removal and refitiing procedure suddenly it didn't rotate at all. So one helicopter down... The next one lasted about a month longer. I don't think that's value for money. Toys like scaletrix and lego still work after 20 years!
