Helicopters are inherently difficult to fly. Silverlit has made things a lot simpler to give you hours of fun. As you might expect you cannot do all the manoeuvres a normal helicopter could do. The helicopter stays flat most of the time and turning is controlled easily but a dedicated switch on the remote.
The durability of this product is phenomenal. After many hard landings at the early stages of the learning curve it's still working and behaving like new. For the price, you might as well buy one even if you 're not a big fan of the genre.

I bought a Rubik's cube from a seller on Amazon. I was disappointed to see it wasn't an original Rubik's Cube, but a cheap rip-off.
Despite this, the cube seemed to move nicely, there weren't stickers but coloured pieces of plastic, so the trouble of the stickers peeling off was non-existent.
However, after about a week of solving it again, again and again, one of the centre pieces fell out. It just... fell out.
So I proceeded to pop it back in again, which it did with a satisfying 'click'.
Later that day I realised the piece was started to become loose. It fell out again. On my second time of replacing it, it shattered.
Well my boyfriend (he's a hunk) wore one down the beach for a bet. It was hilarious! Everyone was laughing at him, pointing and staring - and believe me, it wasn't complimentary! He looked ridiculous, and I can't imagine anyone actually looking good in one of these. We have pinned them on the wall above the fireplace as a talking point now. It's the best use you can get out of them. Wear them for a laugh, but for heaven's sake, don't take it seriously!

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!

This is an awesome but not particularly durable helicopter. I bought mine today and it was very hard to get the hang of... it kept hitting walls. When I thought I'd cracked it after about an hour of flying, it veered into a curtain, smacked into the ground and one of the rotors partly snapped. There being no suitable spare parts, it is now totally out of control whenever I try to fly it. Having bought several Silverlit helicopters, all of which have broken in the first three days, I would not really recomend getting this unless you have a large flying area, are very experienced, have spare parts or enough money to buy another.

Got this because my PicooZ had long since died, and even though I've graduate since to a 4-channel co-axial, I missed the little guy. So, got this as a replacement, as I fancied something a little different looking.
As noted by another reviewer, you get no choice in which of the three infrared channels you will receive, which could cause problems if you want to use more than one at a time (is anyone at Amazon listening? Could we have a choice of the A,B or C versions, please?).
It flies great, better than my old PicooZ, but whether this is due to a better design, or simply that my original one got a bit mangled as I learnt, I have no idea: Maybe I had better buy a heli-style one as well, just for comparison purposes, of course ... Read More:

Star Wars Clone Wars AT-TE (All Terrain Tactical Enforcer) Vehicle it's an easy fix, cut six pieces of rubber hose 5mm in diameter and 5mm long; push them in between the connecting pegs of the removed legs then clip the legs back on. the bits of rubber will hold the connecting pegs open when in place to prevent them disconnecting all the time. very annoying problem but easily fixed!

What a silly piece of gadgetry this is! Its infuriatingly life-wasting appeal is endless. Every 100 pops or so, the thing emits a random sound like a doorbell or a dog barking. You never know what it's going to be which makes this addictive stress-buster even more addictive. I can't believe I was dumb enough to let this thing into my life...

Being a Star Wars fanatic and at that age where grown men become boys again, I find myself reviewing the Clone Wars ultimate lightsaber construction kit. Without babbling on about how wonderful Star Wars is and its universe that George Lucas created, I'll get straight to the point. There are 18 pieces to this kit, including 3 coloured crystals that give a lightsaber blade its colour. In this case it's down to clever electronics and the crystals you instal inside the hilt (the main handle) are just part of its charm in the world of 'pretend'. The idea is simply to build your own lightsaber to your liking or build one to replicate a favourite Jedi, or member of the Sith. You can build Mace Windu, Yoda and Count Dooku sabers by following the illustration on ... Read More:
