Re: RC helicopter from CVS for $24.99 Blue hat toy company

HoverLites $ 24.99 at CVS Store. Ages 8+. That's me ! I bought one.
You need 8 AA batterys for the transmitter so while your shopping ?
It's really plug and play. Batterys for the Hoverlite needs four hours on the charger though. Nothing to put together or adjust. ( yet ) Controls are just Up and Down and Left and Right. No servos, just speed controlers for the main and tail rotors. Tail rotor has it's own little motor. Instuctions were really lacking on how to fly the thing. It does fly though. I sugest some open space to start. High grass and a launching board of 4 x 4 foot flat surface.
I just tested it. It spun around and went up spinning till corections got it straight. Then it started moving forward of what ever direction it stoped spinning at. From that point it kinda just flew like a airplane till I cut the main rotor speed and it spun down again. Droped kinda fast but I had trees around.
PLOP ! Surprised it didn't break. There's no spare parts with it. Have no Idea of where to get parts for it either. That help ya any ?
Broke
