Amazon.com Product Description
With the world's record for the smallest remote-controlled helicopter, the Air Hogs Havoc Heli goes where no other flying object can. Recommended for ages eight and up, this incredible little R/C heli from Spinmaster is easy and fun for kids of all ages -- even grown up ones. Realistic Helicopter Fun
The Havoc Heli has twin rotors for stability and four-way control for flying in any direction with accuracy -- up, down, under, over, left, right, forward and backward. Like a real helicopter, the Havoc can hover in one spot. It even manuevers through the toughest of obstacles. Intended for indoor use, the helicopter operates outdoors with zero wind conditions, and can fly up to 100 feet high in the air. The Havoc Heli is also equipped with a flashing blue LED light for night flying. Friendly competition
Not just for flying solo, the Havoc Heli is designed for fun with your friends. With three selectable frequencies, up to three Air Hogs helicopters can fly in the same room at the same time. Beyond flying for fun, the hook attachment on the bottom of the helicopter picks up objects for top secret racing missions -- with or againsts friends. Tough, Tiny, And Ready To Fly
Measuring six inches long and weighing only ten grams, the Havoc fits in the palm of a hand. Extraordinarily lightweight, the helicopter is built for crash resistance with a flexible, high-impact EPP foam body. The internal battery offers twice the amount of flight time as other R/C helicopters. The remote control charges the rechargeable LIPO battery in 15 minutes, providing six minutes of flight time. The remote requires 6 "AA" batteries (not included). Available in yellow, blue, and red, the Havoc Heli comes completely assembled and ready to fly. What's in the Box

 Fun product with misleading commercials... April 14, 2007
Ethan D Van Vorst (Salisbury, NC USA)

After seeing the commercials on TV I saw this toy (a grown up toy, in my case) down at Wallyworld and picked one up after I saw the fantastic price. For the paltry price of $25 I could fly my Havoc mini-chopper around furniture, take off and land on tables, buzz family members with high speed flybys, and drive the family pets nuts. My conclusions about the Havoc are somewhat different than what's portrayed on TV though. I've never delved into RC aircraft before, something I've always wanted to do but always viewed as an "expensive hobby" that I could always take up later on in life when I had more time and money to spend on it. But the Havoc was extremely reasonably priced so I figured "what the heck" and bought one.
The Havoc itself is extremely lightweight and surprisingly durable. So durable that even after catastrophic collisions with solid objects (walls, furniture, family members, etc) the little thing shrugs it off and keeps on flying without so much as a mark on the rotors. And so long as there isn't a breeze in the immediate area it's also rather agile.
The controls are very rudimentary for such a machine, and if you've ever used an RC car controller you'll be dealing with much the same thing here. The left toggle is your collective, which moves the Havoc up and down. The right toggle controls yaw, essentially your steering. Technically there should be a control toggle for pitch (forward/backward movement) and others have commented that it's absence detracted from the product. I agree to a certain extent, but will also say that it's tough enough trying to control the Havoc with the two provided, so I understand why it's not there. Along with this is an adjustment for trim, as well as a 3 channel selector switch so that up to 3 different Havocs can be flying in the same airspace without the choppers getting confused signals.
The Havoc has several problems which prevent it from achieving the critcally good rating I *want* to give it. For starters, despite there being a controller, the Havoc is virtually *uncontrollable*. The controls, as they are, are hyper-sensitive, especially the yaw/direction control. The unit will take off and can be finagled to hover in place for several moments before it invariably begins it's random exploration of whatever room you're in. Use of the direction control results in bizarre spinning of the helicopter, and as far as I can discern, don't have any use at all. The Havoc does move slightly forward as it goes, but again, without any realistic control of left/right, this means you're ultimately going to run into something as the Havoc spills to the floor. Others have complained about the short duration of the battery (I think the fine print on the back of the box says 6 minutes, although I think 4 minutes is a more realistic figure) although I can see no other way of reasonably increasing battery power duration without substantially increasing the weight of the helicopter itself, which would nullify everything it advertises.
The bottom line here is that you end up with a helicopter that does not behave as portrayed on TV. You have one that goes up and down and can hover pretty well, but that will ultimately behave in response more to the air currents in the room more than the input from your controller. Still, it's a lot of fun and is an extremely rugged little helicopter and will amuse you for hours at a time!

My first impression was chintzy remote and OK helicopter. I still think the remote is chintzy, but I absolutely love the copter. It took a bit of tweaking (as per instructions) to make it behave. No problem. After that, it was just too much fun. It survived some rowdy use at a party and it did run into things and experienced some severe mishaps including being swatted into a wall. It required super glue and re-tweaking post swat.
I wish it was quicker to charge and had controls for forward and back. I don't know how long the controller will last. It isn't built for the long haul like video game controllers are. On the other hand, it might outlast the copter given various mischievious impulses.
Note: the rotor should not be allowed to hit bare skin. It hurts. Some people will pretend it doesn't hurt, but will seek revenge.
Extre great fun with slight modification... August 18, 2007

I've really been enjoyiong my helicopter, but it definitely takes some time to learn and finesse to control. It's very sensitive to slight movements on the controller. I was having a hard time getting it to move forward until I added some weight to the front of the nose. I tried a few things, including a dime, which caused it to zoom forward and hit the walls before I could turn it. Then it tried taping bits of aluminum foil to the front, adding bit by bit until I got the right amount of forward motion. Now I can drive it around the house with great control. The best toy I've bought for under $[...] in a long time!

This is probably the best flying experience I have had with rc helicopters. I mainly fly rc planes, and have a 200 dollar helicopter that does not even come close to the instant gratification this product produces. Other indoor helicopters are difficult to trim and tend to produce large amounts of downward draft that make it very difficult to take off. The Airhogs Heli flew right out of the box. Took a little trimming and the included weights for some forward motion, but overall very easy to fly. I would recommend this Heli to all looking to start flying RC helicopters. I have probable crashed it into every piece of furniture I own, but it keeps on flying. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
A MAN toy March 4, 2007

You see the commercials and they make it sound like this is something for the kids. Don't fall for that. This toy is for a MAN (or woMAN). It's totally awesome. You can fly it around your living room and pretend that you're a real pilot. Well, at least as much of a pilot as one can be when they're sitting on couch watching TV and the actual vehicle is flying above them.
