Any advice on Silverlit Heliracer.....

Best price I can find is £29.99. Does anyone already have this, and would you recommend. Many thanks.:beer:

I'll answer to bump your post.

I've never owned one but people do complain about how difficult rc helicopters are to manoeuvre.

When I give recommendations on the I Wanna board I tend to look at the best rated products and read selected reviews to see what other people are saying.

In this example, as you're interested in a car/ helicopter combination, people say that it uses 10 AA batteries which don't last very long so you'd need to invest in rechargeables and a charger. It's not as big as people were expecting, it's a bit fragile and it takes a bit of practise to fly it forwards and backwards. Finally the truck doesn't steer that well especially on carpet. Despite these aggregated criticisms there wasn't one bad review from 18.

Unfortunately the model you're interested in hasn't had any reviews but, as it's made by the same company as the above example, some of those criticisms will also apply to it. Don't forget it takes 9 AA batteries for starters.
