Heung Long Explorer Sky Fighter


Another quality helicopter from Heung Long.

A fairly large indoor classed helicopter that we have successfully flown outside.  Using Radio Control not Infra red it leaves the option to use it outside on a very calm day.  This model was picked up for £19.99 from a local model shop.

Far heavier than most indoor helicopters it has been given the the motors to cope.  A decent size and powered lipo battery gives a long powerful flight.

What's good:  Good quality and fun to fly.  Lovely LED's all over it and a wall plug in charger not USB.  Powerful motors (130 size I think) and a quality Radio Control unit.  Feels like it should be priced more around the £25-£30 pound mark.

What's bad:  Plastic construction although it has survived well.  Not the easiest to fly and probably would benefit from a fairly large space.  It's kind of in between being an indoor or an outdoor helicopter.

Conclusion:  Looking at the price this is the biggest bargain I have tested.  It is large, well scaled and performs well.  It's large size may not suit everyone and it is noisy in flight.  It comes with spare blades and has a good quality feel.  This model would particularly suit somebody who has flown indoors and wants an occasional outdoor experience or is not confident enough to move to the large out door ones yet.  It would be especially good in outdoor spaces with limited space or for the younger flyer.
