same as laser battle helis? I ordered these for gifts and then discovered the problems with the frequencies (It said colors would vary and the product description comment "With three selectable frequencies, up to three Air Hogs helicopters can fly in the same room at the same time" sure didn't let me know that I'd be stuck when three of the same color arrived).But my further question is, if I can somehow get my order switched to get other colors, will they be able to do the laser battling in air or is that not a feature on these?

The remotes are channel selectable, the helis are pre set. The battle versions have a laser light of sorts that the regular versions do not. However the fact that they are uncontrollable leaves me to believe there would be very little battling taking place beyond the battle to get them to fly at all...

Yes. However if you do not have experience with RC helicopters this is not really a "first time" choice since the main rotor moves in all directions so it's not easy to control. Easier models only have forward and back with the main rotor, and you rotate the direction the heli is pointed in and then go forward or back. You should gain some experience with those first. With this one if you move too quickly with any right or left on it will easily flip and crash and it's also harder to trim. That said if you are already familiar with flying these things, it's a nice model and I"ve crashed mine a bunch of times with no damage. Yes.

Mine are also 27 MHz and 40 MHz. The Abrams is the 27 MHz. I have read that 4 can play but I don't know how you can order different frequencies? We play the two and are still having fun. Maybe AMAZON can explain how you order two more tanks with different frequencies and I might get two more. Bill

Just wondering if anyone knows- can you buy the wireless motion tags separately from the game?? I just called Hasbro and the girl had no idea, she forwarded me to consumer affairs, but I keep getting a busy signal. Since there are games for two players, I assume you can buy motion tags, but where?? My four year old already lost one tag!! HELP!! **FOLLOW UP NOTE** You can only get the motion tags separately if you call Hasbro. If you need replacement tags, call 800-844-3733 and they will ship you your tags. **

If you already have a transmitter and you are sure its all set for the heli then you are all good. I chose to get the RTF as I just didnt want to mess with it. My last heli was really old and while the transmitter was good it needed a new RF pack and batteries, so just went with the RTF. Hope that helps.

A 2.4ghz radio is not like the old 60 channels RC. Yes, you can fly 5 at the same time because each radio "binds" to each receiver inside the helicopter. No two frequencies in the 2.4Ghz frequency are the same when it comes to binding.

After further research you can fly multiples. Found this online: "With 2.4GHz technology (automatic identification and precise code pairing), you may have more than 20 aircrafts flying at the same field at the same time!" so no worries to anyone with the same question

It's a little bigger than a 200 size heli. I would not buy this heli. Major problem with tail motor DOA. Mine was and 2 more were. Get a WL TOYS V912. You will be much happier with this fixed pitch heli. Same size, much better quality. FYI... If you already have flow 3-4 channel fixed pitch heli's. ...And you feel pretty confident, go for a collective pitch 6 channel. If you like this size, get a Walkera Master CP. Very docile for collective pitch heli. I own one and still fly it even today although I have advanced to more 3D capable heli's. It is a relatively inexpensive heli even in RTF versions ($150 or so). You will get much more enjoyment once you get over complexity of collective pitch flying. It's a little bigger than a 200 size heli. I would not buy this heli. Major problem with tail motor DOA.

It is true that the real CH-47s have two main rotors (Fwd and Aft) that spin opposite directions but are linked together via sync shafts. This counter-rotation cancels out any torque effect and allows to maximize engine power for lift. The aerodynamics of this toy are obviously different buy keep in mind that there is no flight control closet, or upper dual boost actuators, Longitudinal cyclic trims, etc......But, it does fly well when everything is working properly, and it is a lot of fun, and is about 20 bucks compared to about 30 million. and yes, I am a Chinook pilot and I still have fun chasing my cat around the house with this helicopter (she seems to enjoy it too).

Send it back and get a V912 sky dancer it's a four channel RC the most fun and challenging RC helicopter for the money you will love it. I have a 9118 but got board with it very fast. Once you master a 4 channel V912 sky dancer you will absolutely love it and you will have to hold it back it has big time speed and priced very affordably.

The person who answered before me is right,i didn't see anything straight on the helicopter itself but on the contoler you can change it. I had the same problem too my brother and i wanted to be on different frequensies so one controller doesn't control both helicopters. I looked it up and first you set the controller to the desired frequiense(a or b) then you turn on your helecopter and there your helecopter is on the desired frequensie. (Sorry not a very good speller)

Don't waste your money better to check out helipad.com where there many quad copters helicopters. I recently purchase a quad copter from propel excellent choice demonstrated at FAO Schwarz worth every penny. So as far as range a big fat ZERO

Yes they work together & I think they are worth every penny! One of the best toys I've ever bought for my 8 & 12 yr old boys! They got them last Christmas & they still play with them all the time a year later & that NEVER happens with my boys! I've seen them shoot and tag each other when one of them is behind closed doors & all they have to shoot the laser through is a 1/4 inch space at the bottom of the door. When they play it together they have a blast & it's one of the few times they don't argue with each other & that makes me happy! In fact I'm getting ready to purchase two more of them to give to my son-in-law & step-grandson for Christmas because they had so much fun playing with ours last year! They are very durable & have an extremely long battery life! I don't think we've ever had to change batteries since we've had them. Good luck & I hope this helps!

Jim, I bought mine about a year ago and my package came with two quadcopters (Gaui 330X-S Quad Flyer and the Heli-Max 1SQ). They were harder to fly because they are small and you have to keep them close. My package also came with the following helicopters. Bell 222, Dominion 3D, Dominion 3D 90, Dominion 3D 90 FBL, Dominion 400, Dominion 450 3D, Ecureuil, Furion 450, Gaui X7, Heli-Max Ave 400 3D EP RTF, Heli-Max Axe CP, Heli-Max Axe EZ, Huey UH1, Jet Ranger, Mako F3C, Schweizer 300C, Schweizer 300C W/Floats, Sikorsky Skycrane, Synergy E6, Synergy E7, Thunder Tiger Innovator EXP, Tutor 600, Tutor 600 Trainer, V22 Osprey, and the Westland Lynx. My favorite helicopter is the Lynx because it has four blades and is more stable and realistic to fly. The Osprey is also cool to fly - especially from the cockpit view. Also included is a training site that teaches hovering. Day and night flight are also available, plus you can add wind if you like. Great fun with awesome graphics. Camera views vary with aircraft, but include fixed on the ground, nose camera, cockpit view, or chase plane view. Enjoy. Package also includes a blimp, Wright Brothers flyer, sea planes, sail planes, gas and electric, single and multi engine planes

I need to buy 6 guns for a birthday laser tag battle. If I buy 3 of the 2-gun sets (at $50 each) would they be able to form 2 groups and play or should I buy the multiplayer system at $400?

I opened mine this christmas, and unfortunately had two of the same wing. Neither Hasbro or Amazon would provide a replacement part. I had to return for a refund, or in the case of hasbro, another product. Love the ship, so dont want to be without it, so only thing I can hope is I may be able to find someone who has two of the other side, and swap
