The proportional control flight system uses a Scalextric-style trigger unit to regulate altitude and speed, whilst the light but durable body construction means that even Mike Smith-style pilots won't terminally damage the aircraft if it nosedives into the ground. The helicopter uses a quick charger that resembles a landing pad and comes complete with a seriously funky 'fuelling' hose - simply attach the hose to the chopper, wait for the light to turn green and you're ready for take off. The Sky Patrol is pretty much plug-and-play - we got it flying within minutes out of the box. Once airborne the helicopter will soar to heights of well over 50ft and distances of 300ft. 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 helicopter will lose altitude and start to turn; pull the trigger when it's facing the new direction you want to charge off in.Features :Flies over 15m high.Proportional Control.Altitude and rotor blade speed control.Stabilising rear rotor system.Launch pad charging station.Brake for easy landing.Charges in just 3 minutes!
