Hubby is gadget mad, so when I spotted a helicopter for only £34.99 I was very pleased. I knew he'd love it, and Mstr J would too!!
Mstr J was very excited to give it to him on Fathers Day morning. I was surprised he didn't burst with excitement & tell him before!
It needed to be charged for 2 hrs first. Which isn't too bad compared to others we've seen before.
It says on a charge you get 6-8 minutes of play. But actually they had a good 15 mins+.
This is a image of the helicopter, but I got the red version....
What hubby thought -
"So, aesthetically, this helicopter is great, nice red, looks like a stunt copter which is cool. A nice touch is when at night you can put the running lights (which flash red, blue and green) and white spotlight on. It makes for great evening flying!
For the money, this helicopter performs pretty well. It lifts off with no worries, however it was quite difficult to keep at a steady height, I kept Kangarooing across the garden! The turning was no problem at all, fantastic. However, forwards and backwards was a little troublesome, even full forward only made the copter slightly move forward, backwards seemed to work ok, I'm guessing the "trim" just needs a bit of tweaking.. I'll have to google that though!
I'd say really, this is, performance-wise the best helicopter I've had the pleasure in playing with, out of the box it's very simple to get going.. Although, I do think 2 hours charge for only 8 minutes playtime needs to be improved! BUT at only £34.99. You get what you pay for and I'd say this was worth the pennies!"

I was pleased that he was happy. I did well, Aldi did well! Yet again, they never fail me!!
Some shots of the helicopter in use.....
Showing off its lights...
Mstr J thought it was super cool. Especially as he'd never seen one with light before. He thought it was like a secret agent in the dark!!
Some other items in Aldi's Fathers Day range were....
Get down there now, as always, while stocks last!
