    Seems a good price, battery life is pretty poor, around 5 minutes.

    Tempted though!

    http://www.swannstore.com.au/fun/swtoy-skduel.html

    For 29!

      I was less tempted when this came one did not have free postage… $16.

      Although if you add the one that the OP mentioned - it goes to free postage, so it is almost like 2 more heli's for $4

    • POWERevolution on 10/01/2014 - 18:35

      The one you listed battery better than OP?

      • N3M3S1S on 10/01/2014 - 18:39

        Not sure, the look better at least.

    • jimmej on 10/01/2014 - 18:40

      I note also that these are IR and not 2.4Ghz… just something to note

    Good deal. The bundle has two helicopters. 2 for 20! =D

  • pencilman on 10/01/2014 - 18:13

    Sounds like a real Ozbargain !!!
    2 radio controlled micro helicopters for $20 - $10 each !!

    Bought.
    Hope they work OK.

      Don't be silly… of course you can!

      Flying it with the gopro is another case altogether.

      • RocketSwitch on 10/01/2014 - 22:20

        Depends on how much you value the gopro lulz

    • Mumbles on 11/01/2014 - 13:54

      GoPro outweighs the chopper. You'd need an army of them to pick it off the ground.

  • josephp on 10/01/2014 - 18:38

    Bought 3! Thanks.

    Bought one, wonder if they are hard to control.

    • IdLikeToBeATree on 10/01/2014 - 21:06

      Reviews I read said it's pretty much the easiest small helicopter to fly. Others I've flown have all been very simple

      • umoddbro on 10/01/2014 - 21:12

        Ok, was just wondering cause I bought a cheap one from eBay a while back and it was the hardest thing to fly (spinning in circles etc).

      • OBone on 10/01/2014 - 21:20
        +6

        Coaxial rotors (dual rotor set) are very easy to fly.
        They spin in opposite directions and cancel out any torque.
        It's the ones with only single rotors that are a challenge.
        What I would say about these with non-removeable batteries is stop flying once you notice a power drop and recharge.
        The tendency is to fly it till it won't go any more and that really shortens the life of the batteries since they probably have no cut-off feature.

  • mskeggs on 10/01/2014 - 20:39

    Good price, will go in the cupboard for gifts to the next kids parties.

    Impulse buy, and January was going to be my month for saving and not buying things that are not needed.

  • MrMaestro on 10/01/2014 - 21:16

    Mate of mine got one of these for Chrissy and I had a go. Good bit of fun and very controllable which is amazing considering how cheap these are. And his one cost $40. 2 for $20? Shiiiit I'll lose interest after only a couple of times but who cares.

  • DEvok on 10/01/2014 - 21:20

    How far can these baby's go? I want to fly one a couple of blocks down the road with a spy camera and seee if I can catch anything interesting.

    • OBone on 10/01/2014 - 21:26

      You won't see it beyond a few metres, even if it could carry a spycam (which I doubt).
      Not to mention the slightest puff of wind and it's out of your control.

      • mskeggs on 10/01/2014 - 21:27

        Worth it for lounge room flying fun, all the same.

    • IdLikeToBeATree on 10/01/2014 - 21:29

      I think you are wanting an AR Parrot Drone ;)

      • alittlelewd on 10/01/2014 - 21:41

        AR Parrot is still a toy with limited wifi range, not great for flying a few blocks away.

        What he needs is a custom built quad using RF.

        • IdLikeToBeATree on 10/01/2014 - 23:16

          Sure but he's asking whether a $10 helicopter will do the trick so I'd say that is a little bit out of his expertise. Anyone can pick up an AR Drone and have some sneaky fun

      That's what they are selling for, each.

  • dannyboi on 10/01/2014 - 21:39

    Thanks. I had a $25 Syma that stopped working after about a week; this will be much better than trying to obtain replacement parts and spending hours attempting to fix things.

    • dealsniper on 10/01/2014 - 22:27

      agreed, that light-take one was a joke. First one i bought didn't work at all (wanted me to return - shipping was about the cost of the plane itself) so i just bought another one. That one barely lasted a few days

    • OBone on 10/01/2014 - 22:54

      My Syma is still flying though I did have to replace the battery which I bought as a spare at the time of purchase.
      The tendency is to fly them till the battery is flat, which is no good at all for LiPo's.
      They don't last long doing this.

      • dannyboi on 11/01/2014 - 08:38

        The teeth on the main gear has worn out. Looking at Youtube videos, it's a lot of effort to take it apart anf fix.

    there would probably be some left!!!!

  • telby on 12/01/2014 - 11:02

    The cheapest i could find for this on ebay was $30, + $10 shipping for 1 unit from Melbourne. So we definitely got an Oz Bargain deal.

    "Hope you are well and thank you for your email. Apologies for the delay in getting back to you, I have been out of the office. Your order was sent on Friday (17th January 2014) using Toll Ipec.

  • telby on 20/01/2014 - 18:22

    My Email response was a little different. "We were inundated with Swannstore orders for the helicopters and are currently working through them as quickly as possible. We aim to have them all shipped very soon and your order with you later this week or at the latest early next week. We hope you enjoy your purchase and should you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact me."
