The Air Hogs Havoc Heli is our favorite novelty toy of the season. Amazingly lightweight and small, these less-than-6 1⁄2" helicopters hover, flit, and speed about a room operated by a hand held transmitter that "pilots" can operate with ease indoors. Infrared remote control maneuvers the copters up and down, and right or left (and look really really cool with the lights off). They fly for about 5-7 minutes before needing a recharge (takes 15 minutes). OK, they are not for a room with serious art treasures, but they are fun! Buy them singly or, better yet, as a pair for racing and piloting games. Comes with spare tail propellers (smart). 8 & up.
