Silverlit I/R Heli Blaster – £36.99 from www.firebox.com
This comes with two fire buttons on each side of the handset, allowing you to unleash six missiles at your airborne opponent. It also has special light effects when shooting.
G-Bladez Pro Outdoors – £99.99 from www.bladeztoys.co.uk
Most choppers under £100 are better suited to indoor spaces or in a light breeze. But this can cope with the elements and has radio control, so can be controlled from further away.
G-Bladez Gyro – £39.99 from www.bladeztoys.co.uk
A favourite among first-time flyers. With foldable blades and an aluminium frame, even when you do hit the deck, you’ll be up and away in no time.
Air Hogs R/C Hawkeye Helicopter – £64.99 from www.thetoyshop.com
It may only offer two-channel control, but this is the first on the market with a built-in camera, so you can take to the air to record both still snaps and moving footage.
