Many kids dream of being a
pilot, but not many actually get to try it out.
While
it may not be like flying an actual aircraft, the Sky Rover Voice Command Helicopter gets them
age-appropriately close within an indoor environment.
This remote
control Sky Rover Voice Command Helicopter allows the user to
speak twelve pre-determined voice commands into the accompanying headset,
which will power the helicopter. Whether you want to turn left, right, go
forwards or backwards, or even pull a U-turn, it does it all. It has real
working lights, and you can also hover and fly on auto-pilot.
Alternatively, you can also fly the helicopter in traditional
mode using the accompanying controller. The remote controller
requires 3 AAA batteries, and the helicopter itself contains
a rechargeable battery which can be recharged by USB on your
computer. This remote control helicopter is designed for indoor use only
and recommended for those 8 years and over.
My
son thinks this toy is pretty cool. Because he was initially nervous to
try out the voice commands, he began by mastering how to fly it using the
regular remote control device. Once he felt comfortable with that, he moved on
to using voice commands. That got him pretty excited and feeling like quite the
little pilot! It can be flown for about 6 minutes per flight and
controlled up to 10 meters away. We found that it took about 20 minutes of
flying before it required charging, which took about 30
minutes.
The
great thing about this helicopter is that if you accidentally fly it into
a wall or crash land it, the helicopter will fall to the ground. Ours crashed
quite a few times initially when my son was first trying to master landing
the aircraft. So far, it's taken the beating well. It also comes with some
replacement parts so that if it did break, you will likely have the parts to
put it back together. Overall, while being a delicate toy by nature, it
does seem pretty sturdy with regular, responsible use. It
has sustained all falls very well so far. One other cool thing it
can do is prop itself right side up again if it falls on its
side!
The Sky Rover Voice Command Helicopter is available at most toy retailers across Canada and the U.S.,
and retails for approximately 39.99USD/$59.99CAN.
Happy piloting!

This is on reference to the Sky Rover Stalker made by the same company,my comment is I've bought several of their products including the Stormwolf and every one of them I bought there is a flaw,the tail motor does not work,brand new out of the box first flight and the tail motor does not work.
ReplyDeleteI don't just mean one chopper but every one of them I bought was like that,I made a carrier from going back and forth to wal mart.
I'm only saying this to save some poor soul from going through what I went through.
Very displeased with this company and wal-mart as well for not trying to work with me on making it right.
Please don't buy from this company you will regret it.
