Air Hog remote-controlled vehicles provide hours of entertainment to kids who prefer active indoor and outdoor play. One of the company's sets of vehicles is the Havoc Micro Heli line of miniature helicopters. This line includes several models that each have different features.
History
The Havoc Micro Heli, as well as all other Air Hog vehicles, are manufactured by Spinmaster Ltd. The Havoc line was released in 2006. Since then, many other Havoc models have been released with updated features.
Components and Function
The Havoc Heli is powered by six AA batteries and operated via a remote-control unit. The helicopter must be charged before flying (20 to 30 minutes of charging provides about five to six minutes of flight time). To operate the helicopter, the transmitter and the helicopter must be set to the same band or frequency. The scientific principles that make the Havoc Micro Heli fly are the same as those at work in full-size helicopters. The user must control the throttle, trimmer and direction sticks to operate the toy. The toy has a main rotor, tail rotor, driving gear and landing gear just like a real helicopter.
Safety
Wait at least 15 minutes after playing with the Havoc Micro Heli before recharging to allow the battery to cool. When you turn the helicopter on, make sure the transmitter is off so as to avoid injury. Place the helicopter on the ground with the tail facing you and the nose pointing away from you for takeoff. Look at the helicopter and not the transmitter when flying. The toy needs an area of at least 10 by 16.5 by 8 feet (width by length by height). Fly in an area with few obstructions (ceiling fans, lamps and vents).
Products
Several versions of the Havoc Micro Heli have been released. The Havoc Stinger (an insect-like, micro helicopter toy) and the Havoc Heli Laser Battle (micro helicopters equipped with lasers for specialized battle) were released in 2007. In 2008, the Gyro Havoc was released as the first Havoc Micro Heli designed for exclusive outdoor use. In 2009 Air Hog released four Havoc helicopters: Havoc Cruiser, Havoc Razor, Havoc Turbo Blast and the UH-60 Black Hawk Havoc. No new Havoc micro helicopters have been released since then (as of 2011).
