I recall that these were on sale in January this year and were very popular with Ozbargainers! I have not used these helicopters but hopefully other's have and can share their experiences.

Delivery to Brisbane is $16 and seems to be the standard rate to other Aussie postcodes!

  • New look, more power
    A familiar name to RC helicopter pilots all over the world, the Micro Lightning Xtreme now has a new chassis, new color schemes and a more powerful signal frequency.

  • Complete control
    With Swann's Easy-Fly gyro technology and powerful 2.4GHz wireless control you enjoy 6-way multi-directional precision for Up/Down, Forward/Backward and Left/Right turn movements with ease.

  • Simple operation, realistic performance
    The Swann Micro Lightning Xtreme is simple to fly and the death-defying turns, dives and stunts will blow you away!

  • Built for indoor flying
    The specialized, lightweight construction of the Swann Micro Lightning Xtreme chopper will withstand impacts and crashes.

  • Charges off the remote control or USB port
    The helicopter can be fully re-charged in less than an hour directly from the remote control (takes 4 x AA* batteries) or from your computer's USB port.

    Shipping really kills the deal considering it was free shipping last time.

      Looks like shipping is flat rate $16 up to 7 item, then from 8 item and above it's free shipping (free shipping if you spend $200 or more?)

    • Neatoboy on 27/05/2014 - 12:01

      Still works out to only $20.50 per copter.

    I managed to get the last deal for $20 delivered. These Choppers would be the best micro Heli's I have owned.
    Great quality and very stable. While I agree the shipping is a killer, they are still good value at $20.50 each delivered.

    • Neatoboy on 27/05/2014 - 12:02

      OK thanks for the review!

    I got the last deal and have definitely got my monies worth with these, very fun.

    • DavoX on 27/05/2014 - 12:03

      +1 (…well my sons did!)

  • braussie on 27/05/2014 - 12:10

    I've also got from the last 20 dollars deal.

    If someone is on the market for a cheap indoor heli, I would definitively recommend this one.

  • hordern on 27/05/2014 - 12:25

    I got some last time. Awesome helicopters for the price - even with shipping

  • d3ft on 27/05/2014 - 13:41

    The 4xAA batteries alone is almost enough to make me buy. I have some great mini helis but they all take 8xAAs in the remote, which is really pretty ridiculous.

  • lknight on 27/05/2014 - 13:51

    is it 4 channel?

    • nookular on 27/05/2014 - 14:33

      They are 3 channel. I bought some of these last deal, and I think they would be one of the better 3 channel helis. They are a fun introduction but I quickly found that I'd like to upgrade to a 4 channel heli or quadcopter.

      • mycosys on 27/05/2014 - 17:20

        ditto - love it but my 1st quad just arrived lol. also wanted something with gyro as these are a lil tetchy lol. least until i get more used to controlling it

        • nookular on 27/05/2014 - 17:33

          I have a v252 quadcopter on order which has gyros + accelerometers with auto leveling. The reviews say it is small and fast so it should keep me challenged for quite a while. Bonus is it should also do well outdoors in a little wind, and it has led's for night flying.

  • bwilso06 on 27/05/2014 - 15:11

    notice the description says Built for indoor flying… can these be used outside?

    • tsunamisurfer on 27/05/2014 - 18:03

      The slightest wind and they are useless.

      Also the sun interferes with the IR control.

      You will need understanding neighbours.

      • Brightsbane on 27/05/2014 - 19:07

        They're 2.4GHz so no IR issues to worry about.

  • Brightsbane on 27/05/2014 - 16:53

    I had a Twister with similar specs. It cost $50 and didn't last very long. Just bought this deal, thanks OP.

  • bb_hunter on 27/05/2014 - 21:18

    Bought from last deal not very easy to fly, not worth $20 spent.
