Fits in your hand!
Glowing eyes
Also available in blue or green!
Remote controlled
Constructed from robust polypropylene foam, Insecta is incredibly durable (handy for novices!) and it might even withstand a direct hit from a rolled-up newspaper. Not that you'll need to worry about that because an ingenious auto-stability system makes evading attackers easy. In fact, after a few flights you'll discover that piloting this triumph of micro technology is a doddle.

Takes some getting used to, in terms of how much throttle you need to use and the trim but once you get a hang of it and you'll have it flying round the room in no time. Much more maneuverable than the PicoZ Micro Helicopter and can fly forward better. An excellent flying gadget and one of the best of its kind.Adam, Preston - Oct '08
The Insecta are amazing little creations, I absolutely love them :) They are amazingly strong for something so small, which is good for me as it was my first so a lot of crashes :D I've just lost a leg though as they are quite fragile compared to the rest of the helicopter.
Amazing fun and amazingly good way to pass the time :) Thanks Firebox... 5 stars.Luke, Wales - Mar '08

I got this incredibly cool looking infra-red controlled helicopter for my brother for Christmas. It takes about 20 minutes to charge it, and for a full charge about 20-30 minutes (after 20 minutes the Li-Poly Battery will be charged to about 95%, because the most energy is pumped into the battery in the first few minutes). For longer battery life always charge fully. The flight time is up to 10 minutes as stated.
At first the helicopter (when doing this the first time) will be very hard to control, so keep it near the floor. But you will quickly learn how it works and how to control it. It withstands crashes into the wall and other objects, but nevertheless be careful because it could break.
I got the green one for my brother and the lights on it look really cool, especially when it is starting to get dark. Even my cat got so excited she went after the "insect".
It can easily be started from the ground or from your hand, whichever you prefer.
If you want it to go faster just add some extra weight to the nose (I used blu-tack).
The only problem I had, was when I tried it outside (make sure there is absolutely no wind or else it will get blown away), because the Infra-red doesn't have the biggest range, so make sure you keep your remote pointed at the little monster or it will crash.
Another thing that wasn't great was that after three days my brother broke the on/off switch on the helicopter by not being careful.
Except from those two things it is another great product from Firebox and great fun for everyone. 5/5 stars!Raphael, Northampton - Dec '08
These are brilliant looking machines but I found that they were a bit trickier to fly than the picoZ helicopter. They seem to be a bit faster and not so as responsive, oh and watch the insecta's legs I lost one after a crash.Gary Copeland, Dumfries And Galloway - Feb '08
