Sky Challenger -- Battle 1

This video demonstrates the ability of the Sky Challenger copters (Silverlit Electronics) to shoot each other down with infrared. The IR is surprisingly sensitive OTB. Almost as fun as shooting the other heli down is recovering after you've been shot yourself.

Again, thanks to J. and Brian for helping out!

do u have to be level to hit them with the lazers or do they spread a bit????

[kingwhiskers]

No, you do not have to be absolutely level with the other helicopter to shoot it down. The radiation pattern does seem to be spread out a bit.

How do the controls work? One up/down and one fire and one for turning left/right?

[kingwhiskers]

Yes, that's about right.  Although, there are two buttons for the firing, actually -- one left and one right. And, there's a switch to control the trim, as well.

Can you have like 20 at once going?

[kingwhiskers]

With these particular helicopters, there are two controllers on two frequencies (A/B) that you can use simultaneously. So the answer to your question is, no, the devices are really designed to fly two at a time. That said, you could certainly have ten helicopters responding to the same controller A and ten helicopters responding to the same controller B. They may crash into each other but that would be quite a sight.

I just bought a set of these today, after playing around with a buddies set last week. They are amazingly fun, though it takes some practice to get them to fly where you want them to.

the gunfire sound comes from the remotes, by the way, not the helicopters themselves. still, its fun to shoot eachother out of the sky. We figured out that we could bounce the laser via windows, and shoot eachother down indirectly, unfortunately you can also shoot yourself down that way, heh.

lol this looks fun =D

[MrRonin45enator]

@kings can you go forward or backward aswell or is it just left and right?

[wario94700]

[legofanno1]

[roggelmagic]

If you shoot one down, and it crashes, does it destroy it?

[gmz7105]

[Flyboy0110]

you have to tune in the stabalizing rotors read the manual

[minibarnes]

If i get this right, then the only thing u will have to do is to spin it the other way.. alot:)

i hope that it helped!

[Graveyardwalker]

How do i make them stop spinning? Even after turning them off and on again they just spin and flop around.. Barely flying at all... Help?
