Spin Master has created a set of micro RC helicopters capable of aerial combat! The kit includes two micro RC helicopters, each with their own controller. Each helicopter controller features a button which, when pushed, will shoot the other helicopter down. It does this by emitting infra red light (invisible, long wavelength light), and directing it towards the other helicopter. If the attacking helicopter is aimed correctly, the light beam will activate a sensor on the other helicopter, causing it to momentarily lose control. Fortunately, the helicopter will recover from this unstable flight before hitting the ground.

The micro RC helicopters use a fixed pitch design (the angle of the blades do not change). This adds to their durability and design simplicity. Controlling the micro RC helicopters is easy, use the left control stick to control the altitude and the right stick to control direction. The included weights are a nice touch, which allow you to trim the mini RC helicopters motion.

Since the micro RC helicopters are constructed out of light weight foam, crash damage is minimized. All of the parts used are standard, so replacements are easily available. You can even customize your helicopter with colored rotor blades!

The micro battle helicopters are great for flying indoors, and for holding air raids in the living room.
