New AFFORDABLE R/C Chopper!
Posted by Papa-Echo-64 on Wednesday, September 17, 2003 11:18 PM
Have you guys seen this?!!

http://ebay3.ipixmedia.com/abc/M28/_EBAY_4882677c187f07d64fd6916ac1eff325/i-1.JPG

The proportional control flight system uses a Scalextric-style trigger unit to regulate altitude and speed, while the light but durable body construction means that even the worst pilots won't damage the aircraft if it nose dives into the ground.
The 27.195 MHz Sky Vector Remote Controlled Helicopter uses a quick charger that resembles a landing pad and comes complete with a fuelling hose - simply attach the hose to the helicopter, wait for the light to turn green and you're ready for take off.
Once airborne the helicopter will soar to heights of over 50 feet and distances of over 300 feet!
It takes a little while to master the control - basically the harder you squeeze the trigger, the higher it flies in a pretty much forward direction.
Ease off the trigger and the Sky Vector Helicopter will lose altitude and start to turn; pull the trigger when it's facing the new direction that you want to go.
Time to have fun!
Includes Helicopter, Charging/Docking Station and Pistol Grip Radio controller.
Requires 6 "AA" and 8 "D" batteries (not included)
Model No: J10

Heck...Thats not bad! it retails from $49.00 to $89.00 depending where you look! there are some around 40 something 'buy it now' on EBAY.....I have not been able to find any SERIUOS reviews but one add said its about 3 min of flying time.....I like it! There is this one 'remote' (get this WITH wires) chopper at my local hobby shop and that puppy still has a 300.00 price tag! 'WIRES!!' gee
Straighten up and fly right.....

UPDATE

Get this I have found this under three different names so far
'Air hogs' 'Humble bee' and Sky vector'

There are some on sleebay for 25.00 BUY NOW! BUT! they want 25.00 for shipping! ...DUDES! thats not right!
......and! I'm seeing way too much on climbing only with a slow decent with trigger off....and NOT enough about a slight foward motion 'with each climb rate' like I saw in one add.

I want some 'indpendant' reviews first!

UDATE 2:

From what I can see this is the BEST deal and no matter what the 'name' is they are all the same toy.

This is the BEST deal I can find so far!
A 29.00 pre order!
