HELP please with my sons air hog toy

nichere

Hi everyone.
I was wondering if anyone can possible help me?
My son got an airhog (one of those flying saucer toys) for xmas, but all it does is fly straight up to the ceiling and bashes into everything.
We did what the instructions says ie: let it go through its set up procedure etc but all it does is go crazy now.
Is there anyway of resetting this and restart it from new by trying to erase the memory of what it stored in its memory if it did that is?

Thank you for looking and any help will be much appreciated and make a lttle boy happy.
Cheers
Nic

Not had any dealings with these, but there seem to be a lot of different models around, so posting the exact model may help.

Thank you for the answer davb.
From what i can gather it is the vectron wave, as i say all it does is hit the ceiling and bash into everything in sight, is this what it is meant to do?, i am not sure?, but if it is what a waste.
Thanks again everyone whos looked.

A quick Google on this doesn't look good I'm afraid:

Does this sound familiar

"Don't waste your money on buying this! We had to return ours 3 times as even when following the instructions closely, each one ended up bouncing around on the ceiling out of control; much to the dissapointment of our son! ;-("

Looks like there is a mix of ones that work, and ones that don't...
