Got it for my son for Christmas,and was broken by New Years.

Broke the same day, unable to fix.

I have fun flying these indoor choppers along with my kids. Replacament choppers are readily available at Radio Shack and cost $12.95.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

very poor quality item made up of star foam. Didnt work well. Very Very fragile item, lost balance after one time use and couldnt fix it since then. Had to trash it.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

With in an hour both helicoptors were broken. Seems a small plastic linkage between the main helicoptor blades snaps easily. The system allows for each player to shoot down the other helicoptor, but in doing so the crash causes it to break. I can't see this not being a fairly common problem and would think that the part should be changed to an interchangable one.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

Great value. Hard to operate, requre a lot of patience, best for older children (over 12). Seems to be durable (more than other similar item we had), but can not take to much of abuse. Taking off and hovering is chalenging, flying in desired direction near impossible, so shooting other helicopter did not succed so far. Requires 12 AA batteries (not included).It was on deep sale so for the money I could get only one helicopter elswere.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

It was a great deal for not one, but TWO helicopters. They sounded pretty durable and resistant to new pilots learning to fly.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

Broke the first day. Could not get one of them to track straight. We were never able to use them to "combat". [$]

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

These broke within the first 15 minutes that my boys started playing with them. They are supposed to be durable but they would bump up against the ceiling or wall (while learning to control them) and the supports to the blades would pop off. Eventually they broke all together even before they could control them enough to even try battling as is supposedly the original intent.

The product was good and pricey..Coz i bought a Same kind of Helicopter from [@] and that was $27 single....but these both for [$] are amazing!!!!!!!

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

Fun, but hard to control.
Was supposed to be a Xmas present, but Radio Shack decided to take their time and deliver the day after Xmas.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

Unfortunately the first time my husband got to use it, the helicopter crashed and ruined one of the blades...can not believe there aren't any extra blades that come with it. That put a real stop to fun...and I'm glad it wasn't a present for my children...would have been doubly disappointing!

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

We bought two of these but both orange controllers didn't charge the helicopter right out of the box. We were able to charge both helicopters using blue chargers so we decided to keep it. After few days propeller on orange helicopter broke and now its unusable. Blue helicopter is so far going strong. So now I have a [$] regular helicopter which is still not bad.Now the good part. It's a lot of fun for few minutes that it did work. Helicopter flies well and shooting down the other is a load of fun. I just wish it didn't break so quickly. I wouldn't pay the MSRP $70 but for [$] for two heli - can't beat it.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

I got the nanocopters for [$] and my they were flimsy. After three weeks, both copters broke cuz they kept on crashing into the wall. Tried to fix it w/ a glue gun but it only lasts for a little while. However, playing with them are fun, but hard to control at times. Overall, fun to play indoors and out. Takes a while and experience to get use to the way the copters fly. Beware, it may break.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

lasted one flight. rotors broke on crash. wish i could get them replaced. was so mad i threw them away instead of returning them

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

These are great if they last more.
There's a very weak point on the axle where the lower fan goes; let it hit the wall more than twice and it will break.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

Both copters broke within first 20 minutes. Garbage. Don't waste your money

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

broke within the first couple hours of use. there are two plastic pieces that connect the motor to the top rotor. they kept breaking. now we they are all broken and these are no longer used, after one day, for [$], terrible!!!

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

Very Poor Quality

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

Fun for the first usage. Everything starts falling apart after the first usage resulting in the copters not flying properly. [...] I will definitely stay away from any more RC toys that advertise as being crash resistant.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

Good fun. However the sturdiness leaves a little to be desired. However its that same with all copters.
They should be made more durable considering the target market, i.e. not expert fliers.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

Boys are older, 16 & 18, but we still had a great time buzzing around with these!

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

had high hopes made sure i was careful to learn functions, as not to crash and damage. to no avail. it flew mostly irratic in circles. to bad.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

Good product, but it is hard to control the flying.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

gave two helicopters to two of my kids. It started nice but within one hour both the planes were lost. Very fimsy construction, do not buy this.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

nano copters were very poorly constructed and did not last for a week.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

They seem like a great idea, but unless your living room is the size of a football field good luck flying let alone shooting one another.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

use a lot of batteries. one of the planes broke the second day. Bought cheep so did not bother to return.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

This is my first buy of this type of radio controlled helicopter. Awesome for the first time buy. Excellent concept.
Though takes a large no of batteries but does last a long time too.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

This is a fun toy. They had a good idea with the product, but the construction is so flimsy that I would estimate the lifetime of the item at a couple hours (maybe a week if you are extremely careful with it). I do not recommend letting kids handle the them, even adults need to treat these with great care. Furthermore, I do not suggest using it to dogfight like the package suggests either. Shooting down your opponent can greatly increase your chances of the item breaking. Overall, I would rate this product a do-not-buy unless you have some money to spare for some short lived gimmic toy fun.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

Very poor quality, exchange is very expensive, you have to send it to England yourself!

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

Used in only indoor as directed. Very easy to use and fun, ( While it lasts). Couple of bump is all it takes and the thing start to only spiral out of control. Used it for about a week and has been since put on a shelf in my sons room.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

The "struts" for the blades break very easily, and Danbar doesn't sell replacement struts. Don't waste your money with these.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

Sometimes you get what you pay for. These copters cannot be trimmed to maintain a heading. There is a trim switch, but it doesn't really work. Forget about trying to dogfight between the two copters - it's not possible, no matter your skill level.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

product were fun at first they both were very hard to fly & before we could master them they broke. the worse part is they only give you 1 spare part with the copters. The part they provided was not the part that broke on both of my copters. when you try & buy replacement parts there is basically none available so now I have junk here. Luckily I got these on a good sale or I really would be Mad.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

Very poor quality, one chopper controller was broken and would not charge the choppers. Both choppers broke very quickily (approx 4 use cycles or 15 minutes of use). Very difficult to fly and control.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

couple parts broke. the oem was great and sent new parts, gratis. but the toy is completely un flyable. i tried a few others that are similar and can be trimmed and are a blast to fly. it isn't just a learning curve. spend a bit more and get one that works

For kids fun and indoor activity during winter

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

Blue unit died after the first use, the back rotor stopped making the helicopter impossible to fly. With such a poor construction like this, avoid buying it.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

This deal is a steal !Let me tell you :All those saying ::1. Poor construction : Pl check the other brands within same price / size. This one is much better.2. Difficult to fly : Thats' true. Any tiny / 2 channel IS difficult to fly till you learn how to fly. Today I / my 10 yr nephew can fly it all 6-7 min long, with full control, including landing. It How many days it took for you to learn skeating ? same thing...3. Batteries Not Included : They never said "included" What all do u expect in [$] ?4. Fallen apart : It took atleast 5-7 flights for me get hold of it. As soon a you suspect u gonna hit something, just release all the controls, let it fall. Doesn't matter if it takes 6-8 feet fall with rotors not spining... It can easily stand that "silent" crash... But with such a high-speed rotor spinning you touch anything like wall / floor / ceiling, even metal rotor will fall apart... Do real life chopper blades can sustain similar crash ? Think...It's almost true with most of the toys... Not just this Danbar...Never say "It doesn't work", say "I could not make it work"; never say "Its boring", say "I didn't like it"... No offence meant (none accepted...)Yes, any manufacturing defects should not be tolerated at-all...I'm not a Danbar guy ! Hope "Verified Customer" appears against this review once I submit this review :)Enjoy,_zdWill upload the VDO sometime..._zdNever say, I cou

too bad they don't hold up 2 a few crashes they were fun 2 shoot out of the air

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

Broke in the first 2 weeks, I am so sorry I sent this to my grandson, he can't even play with it.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

Price was great, but product did not last but a few days before falling apart. They are supposed to be combat hellicopters, but if you try that they will not last at all. My son didn't even try doing combat with them and the propellers broke within a matter of days. Very poorly made. I would deffinitely not buy these ever again.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

These are great fun when they work. However, all 4 of my copters lasted less than 2 weeks before the linkage struts and main rotors broke.

Danbar Toys now has spare linkage struts on their web site, but... If the struts are OK and the copter is still unstable in flight, the pins that center the main rotor on the shaft are broken. Danbar should supply spare rotors too.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

I love the fact that you can learn how to operate it quickly, and that they are cheap

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

The helicopter crased many times and it didn't even break! It's pretty challenging but you could get used to it. This is the best!

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

Complete waste of money, lasted less than 5 minutes then both broke.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

One broke after about 10 minutes of flying, second one can fly stable for about 10 seconds and then loses control. They do charge quickly and the charge lasts a while. Overall a waste of [$].

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

hard to stabilize. breaks easily. each copter only lasted a few flights before the thin rods connecting the main rotor and the balance bar broke. i've tried superglue or replacing the rods with metal wires but the copter doesnt fly right anymore. Don't waste your time and money. Buy something else.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

It breaks so easily.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

Yes I am agree with all the reviews, worthless, and easily break down with the first 15 min when practice flying. I want to return the package back to the store BUT I thought it will be good idea to think about fixing it. Really, it was so surprising to me when it is now more efficient and better than before. The two thin plastic connectors between the blades and stablizer broke and can't fly at all. Now I have replaced the two tiny pieces with two flexible wires, you can use the tie wires that usually come with gifts. It is now working good and never spinning, even my 4 years old child can fly with it,, more fun. Please try to fix it the same way or let me know if you want help.
Thanks Radioshack..

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

The whole concept was intriguing. I was so excited to buy these for my father, and be a kid with him again. Unfortunately, like mentioned in other reviews, the little flimsy piece that connects the stabilization bar to the blades would not stay on, so i glued it, then it broke...grounding the helo for life! Almost perfect, except for that stupid flimsy piece!

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

This is a neat concept, but the copters are flimsy in construction. The very thin connecting rods (plastic) that connect the rotor to the blade broke on the first flight. Not worth the asking price.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

One of the link between the fans at the top of the helicopter was broken within few hours. Had fun - no doubt but could be better.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

They are cool, but, we only got one day out of them before they broke. Neat for [$] or less.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

I bought this set and had a great time with them for the first thirty minutes or so. Then one of the helicopters stopped responding to commands, and the other lost one of the weights on its balancing rotor. Neither of the helicopters had suffered a major crash and now neither of them are airworthy. I guess that I can salvage a weight from the useless blue helicopter to save the orange one, but that kind of defeats the concept of air to air combat. They were fun for the short time that I got to play with them, but definitely not durable, and definitely not worth the money.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

One of the thin struts that powers the rotor broke after about an hour of flying. It's a tiny piece of plastic but it's too small to glue. What a joke. It was fun while it lasted.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

they are not durable and break on the 2nd or 3rd crash! When I say crash I mean when they run into wall or piece of furniture. Unless you have a huge open room you will not have enough room to navigate your copter much less aim and shoot the other! Got on sale for [$] and not even worth that!

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

It took longr to charge the helicopters than we were able to fly them, all of the plastic pieces that connect the rotor to the counter balance broke on the first flight. 3 minutes for a [$] dollar toy is not a fair trade

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

Fun but 1st one broke within 30 minutes after some minor crashes. Attempts to fix, failed. Far too sensitive balance. Flys but wildly. 2nd one broke 5 minutes later after a hard landing. Too bad, had potential but at $1 per minute play time ([$]), not worth it.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

This RC helicopter is crash resistant and lots of fun. Beware that the pins for recharging the helicopter are flimsy, and are easily broken off. Once this happens, the toy can't be recharged.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

Blue one broke before the first charge was used up.
orange one lasted a little longer. The blades simply cannot take any abuse. not a good design for a copter that is supposed to fall from the sky.
These will be going back to the store

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

Generally crash resistant. However, once a vertical stabilizer rod between the main rotor blades and the upper stabilizing-star breaks, it is game over.

Kit only provides replacement tail rotors. Not the ultra thin stabilizer rods.

This, and most other RC choppers do not do true hovering. They are always moving forward. You cannot hover stationary or move backwards or sideways, you can only rotate the nose to left or right. Chopper must be continuously re-trimed (tail rotor speed), and cannot turn nose quickly to the right. Turns left very easily (counter clockwise), as this is helped by the rotor turning clockwise.

I am returning this set.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

Lasted 10 minutes before the rotors were broken on both copters. [$] for 10 minutes of play is not a bargain.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

My mother bought two sets of these. Her two grandsons set to flying and enjoying them. The three frequencies are especially nice. Before the second charge was used up however, two of the four copters were not working. The tail rotor on one would not spin; the main rotor on the other had come loose. Yes, they had some crashes, but they are combat copters designed to be "shot" from the air... I went to the Danbar toys website which, in material included with the toys, promised replacements at an affordable price, but could not find them..... If they lasted longer, I'd give them a much higher rating!

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

Broke the balance bar (rotor) on first flight. No replacement parts available. The plastic is thin and weak. Disappointing. Too bad because it has unique design features.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

Copters come with replacement "tail Rotors", however these do not seem to brake in our experience. The extremely thin vertical rods that hinge and hold the main rotor blades to the top stabilizer bar will eventualy break, and there are no replacement bars. Copter is then useless.

First failed on Xmass day. I plan to return product after Xmass, it is clear that it is only a matter of time for the next copter to fail. Though of using wire to fashion replacements, but that is not why we purchased the copter set.

It is not easy to fly, so be warned as well, (and I am a former pilot). they seem durable but for the insanely weak bars.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

for [$] you can't beat it. also it will with stand the crashes into the wall and floor.going out to get more today.you must watch your pets. may cat wants to be right there.HAVE SOME FUN with all the bad new's latley.

On a full charge i can make it to the top of an 18 ft ceiling.

Comments about Danbar Danbar Air-to-Air RC Combat Nano Copters:

These are great! They charge quickly, are easy to control and the IR sensors pick up very well. The only con is the same as most rc helis - average flight time is about 10 minutes
