Ds got one for Christmas. A micro r/c helicopter with gyro control etc etc.
We've had 'flying' type toys before and they've never been much good, but I was seduced in Hawkins (blimey there's a thought
) into believing the (£30
) one they had at Christmas was as 'brilliant' and indestructable as the chap demo-ing it told me it was
Anyway ds, who isn't esp tough on his toys, couldn't even get the thing to take off at all.
Dh then found it was missing a bit on the rotor blades, so I took it back with the intention of getting another. 'Oh dear' the girl in the shop said 'not another one of those..'. It seems loads were returned, so I don't want to get another one from Hawkins.
Does anyone's dc have something like this that's actually worth it? I don't really want to get into the realms of very expensive rc toys for grown up enthusiasts, and I thought 30 quid was pretty steep anyway.
Any ideas or shall I replace his Christmas present with something else?
