$10 they are only tiny little things too. I don't mind as i've kept the spare tail rotor and small counterweights so when the new one comes i've got extras. Not to mention i've already brought a pack of 3 tail rotors as the original broke after a major crash LOL!! ;D. So by the end of the week i'll be flying again and the cats will be running LOL!! ;D ;D ;D

DANGIT ! What's the range on it ? I JUST found out that it is indeed an IR controlled item :-[

Here's a pic for ya, timelord !

The range is about 30 feet / 10 metres the IR is very good i've never seen it fail even when the helecopter is out of sight. I Like the picture too.

Cool - I was worried about the range of it ! Here's a smaller version of the pic (Without the hand !) :

That little picture looks like something from a flee circus LOL!! ;D

Airwolf has died  :'( The tailrotor has failed after a major crash. But good news www.play.com said send it back for a replacement   So i'm grounded until further noticed  :'(

Airwolf will be back tomorrow ;D After a slight delay in the postage the company www.play.com have posted my new replacement. So i'm gonna be a big kid again LOL!! ;D

Airwolf mark 2 is back this time they sent the more expensive one in blue @ £24.99 instead of the red @ £17.99.
First impressions it flies better than the first one, flightwise it seems they all vary form craft to craft the red one was a bit of a wild card and wanted to run away more ;D
Secondly the red one had a blue neon light and the blue has a green one
Thirdly i prefer blue anyway but went for the red coz it was cheaper
Overall if you deal with www.play.com they are excelent as to the way they treat their customers

I can't get enough power at the tail rotor. Mine usually spins to the left even with full trim and stick right. I think DX is going to replace it.

Okay, Timelord - mine is still enroute !  :'(

I wanna see a video of that sucker in action !  I love how they dubbed in the sound of a real Helicopter on the advertising video for it ! LOL ! ;D

They are on Dealextreme.com , and they JUST dropped the price (AFTER I bought one, of course !) to $20.00 and change.....

Is it just me or is the website Dealextreme.com dead? I haven't been able to go there for days.

It's pooped right now - dunno if they forgot to pay the light bills, etc......They have a $hit load of folks' money right now, though - if they just up and went out of business, there will be aLOT of pissed folks.

I really that they come back to life, I was about to order several things. Hope one of those little helicopters too.


I was recently scammed by a dieing company so I am kind of on edge about this sort of thing!

They're okay - they had a web server crash, ETA for repair is March 22nd.
